Replication Properties on the Master

Run Script before Synchronization

Triggers a script to run before each synchronization. The synchronization process does not start until this script run is completed.

Script Name

Enter the full name and path of the script.

Arguments

Arguments to pass to the script that is specified in the previous property. Arguments are static values.

Run Script after Synchronization

Triggers a script to run after each synchronization. The synchronization process does not wait for this script run to finish.

Script Name

Enter the full name and path of the script.

Arguments

Arguments to pass to the script that specified in the previous property. Arguments are static values.

Compress Data during Transfer

Compresses data before sending it to the Replica. This option optimizes bandwidth and transfer time. If the Master host is a busy production server, we recommend activating this feature on the first-level Replica that resides on the same LAN, and not on the Master.

• Compress data is resource consuming, and impacts server performance. If the typical file format being transferred does not compress much, this option is a waste of processing power and time. Although the transmission bandwidth can be lessened, the overall replication time is a function of compressibility and available power.
• Already compressed files such as .zip, .rar, .gz, .jpeg, etc., and any small file whose size is less than 512 bytes, are not compressed.

IO Throttling During Synchronization

Enables you to control I/O throttling during synchronization.

Enable Scheduled Bookmarks (Only for DB Scenarios)

This property lets you create periodic bookmarks for DB scenarios according to the schedule you set. Use the generated bookmarks in Rewind for periodic recover points. This feature in only for DB scenarios such as MSSQL and Exchange scenarios.

Default: Every two hours

Run Script upon Trigger File Creation

[For File Server only] Defines whether special actions should be triggered via a script, when a specified trigger file appears.

Trigger File Name

The name of the file that triggers the script, which is specified in the next property. The script is triggered once the file creation event occurs.

Script to Run

• Script Name

  This script is invoked, when the trigger file that is specified in the previous property is created. Enter the full name and path of the script.

• Arguments

  Arguments to be passed to the script specified in the previous property. Arguments must be static values.

User Credentials

Lets you enter the user credentials to access the host folder. If the user has no permission to access the root directory, then scenario will not run.
