Note:
If you are going to use failover, any target paths that are blocked will
automatically be unblocked during the failover process so that users can
modify data on the target after failover. During a restoration, the paths are
automatically blocked again. If you failover and failback without
performing a restoration, the target paths will remain unblocked. You can
manually block or unblock the target paths by right-clicking on a
connection.
Do not block your target paths if you are protecting a full-server workload
because system state data will not be able to be written to the target.
● Move deleted files to the following location—This option allows you to
save files that have been deleted, by moving them to a different location on
the target. When a file deletion is replicated to the target, instead of the file
being deleted from the target, the file is moved to the specified location. This
allows for easy recovery of those files, if needed. If you enable this option,
specify where you want to store the deleted files.
● Remove after the following number of days—If you are moving deleted
files, you can specify a length of time, in days, to maintain the moved files. A
moved file that is older than the specified number of days will be deleted.
Storage Mirroring Recover checks for moved files that should be deleted
once daily at 8 PM. Only the date, not the time, of the file is considered when
moved files are deleted. For example, if you specify to delete moved files
after 30 days, any file that is 31 days old will be deleted. Because the criteria
is based on days and not time, a file that will be deleted could have been
moved anytime between 12:01 AM and 11:59 PM 31 days ago.
Note:
If deleted files are moved for long enough, the potential exists for the
target to run out of space. In that case, you can manually delete files from
the target move location to free space.
If you have Ignore Delete Operations enabled on the source, the Move
deleted files setting will never be invoked because there will be no delete
operations performed on the target.
Do not include the Recycler directory in your replication set if you are
moving deleted files. If the Recycler directory is included, Storage
Mirroring Recover will see an incoming file deletion as a move operation
to the Recycle Bin and the file will not be moved as indicated in the Move
deleted files setting.
Alternate data streams that are deleted on the source will not be moved on
the target.
