Policies can be used for both file replications and object replications. Policy-based replication comprises:
- Replication Policy: A replication policy identifies the data source, the replication target, and optionally a replication rule. For file replication, pre-replication and post-replication scripts can also be set up in the Policy page.
- Replication Rules: Optional configuration parameters that allow tuning of file replications to enable and disable specific functions or to optimize performance.
- Replication Schedule: Defines all aspects of automated timing.
