Replicate All Files to a Master Vault

This configuration is good for an organization where there is one main location with many users, and smaller satellite locations, or where you want to maintain a backup repository, and you don’t want to assign the master vault as every user’s Default Vault. Often this would be combined with onDemand rules to copy files to user’s highest priority Read Vault (or Default Vault if there are none) from the master vault when they first open a file.

Usually, you would want to set this type of replication to run immediately or to be scheduled to occur during off hours, to capitalize on periods with low server use and lower network traffic.

For this configuration, one replication rule must be set for each vault except the master vault.

• Initiator Type – onChange
• Filter Method – none (blank)
• Replication Mode – Immediate or Scheduled
• Replication Type – Copy
• Is Active – checked
• Replication Time – If Scheduled, set to an off hour. You should consider staggering the replication times for the different rules, so excessive replication transactions are not set to execute all at the same time.
• Timeout – depends on the installation, but a default value of 0100 (one hour) is a good starting point.
• Label – a unique name for each rule.

And for the two relationships made in the Replication Rule -

• File Types – should be blank.
• Target Vaults – only the master vault.
