File and Object data replication allows you to copy or relocate both file data and file system metadata. Storage servers provide manual and automatic mechanisms for data replication, supporting the replication of data and, when using the transfer of primary access feature, also supporting the replication of file system settings. When using replication with the transfer of primary access feature, you can relocate file system data and CNS links, SMB shares, permissions and all other file-level metadata. Administrators can use NAS Manager to configure policy-based replication jobs independently from other backup strategies.
Replication is a licensed feature, and the Replication license must be installed before replications can be performed. Refer to the Storage Subsystem Administration Guide for more information about licenses.
