Cargo requirements
In addition to the source and repository server requirements , the following requirements
apply to the Cargo archiving functionality of Storage Mirroring Replicate.
●
Operating system—The following operating system and file system requirements
apply to archiving.
●
You must use the NTFS file system. FAT and FAT32 are not supported for
archiving.
●
Transactional files on Windows 2008 are not supported. Any request for a
recall within a transaction will generate a sharing violation error and the
recall will not occur. The application can open and read a byte outside of a
transaction to cause the recall to occur and then proceed with the transaction.
●
Do not modify the system attributes on any file or folder. Incorrect system
attributes could case data to be skipped for archiving, or it could cause
source crashes because the full system files must remain available on the
source.
●
Because the archiving feature uses the file access date and time, do not
disable the Windows system setting that updates file access date and time. If
this setting is disabled, the archiving functionality will not behave as
expected.
●
Archiving can only be performed on non-system volumes. (The system
volume is where the Windows system files are located.)
●
Network configuration—The following network configuration requirements apply
to archiving.
●
Workgroup environments are not supported. The source and repository
server should be member servers in a domain environment.
●
The source can be a domain controller as long as Active Directory and
system data is not selected for archiving.
●
Security—Specific archiving security configuration must be completed before
using the archiving functionality.
●
Anti-virus—You must configure your anti-virus software to skip archived files or
the archived files will be recalled during virus scans. Additionally, you must
configure you anti-virus software so that the Storage Mirroring Replicate
application is a low-risk process. Configure the low-risk processes so that they do
not scan when writing to or reading from the disk. If you need assistance
configuring your anti-virus software, see your virus software documentation. Keep
in mind that your anti-virus software may refer to archived files differently, for
example, offline, migrated, or sparse files.
