Typical Replication Configurations

This section provides examples of typical types of replication configurations. These can be used as is, or may be modified for your special circumstances. A combination of these configurations may be used.

These replication rule configurations interact with the Read Vaults Priority and Default Vaults you assign to each user. In most cases, it is recommended to set the user’s Read Priority vaults to give them the best performance at their usual location for reading the files.

There are two options for setting the User’s Default Vault. The first is to assign it to the Vault which gives them the best performance, often the same one as the highest Read Priority. The second is to assign it to a ‘Master’ vault. There are tradeoffs for each approach. The first approach allows you to use the ‘onDemand’ replication rules to place files onto their local vault when they first view them, the second approach puts files immediately onto a master vault.
