The SmartSync options
When setting up a SmartSync task, you will see the following SmartSync options.
Item Description
Compress the
data stream
during data
transmission
When checked, it will compress data before transmitting to the
SmartSync server. Sometimes it will make it faster to complete a task.
However, it takes extra CPU time to compress data and may have
performance penalty if compression ratio is low.
Contain security
information
When checked, it will send ACL information to the SmartSync server.
Bandwidth
control
Limits the maximum bandwidth for the task.
Include/exclude
file pattern
For excluding or including certain file types in the synchronization. For
example, to exclude WORD files, type -*.doc; To exclude all WORD files
except those beginning with abc, type +abc*; - *.doc;
Perform quick
synchronization
Quick synchronization will only check file date, time and size when
matching files, instead of checking block-by-block. It will speed up the
synchronization a lot, while taking the risk that files might not be made
identical.
Generate
transaction logs
When checked, it will record which files are added, updated or deleted
during the data replication. The transaction logs are displayed on the
SmartSync Summary page.
