Scheduled replication is a feature that allows you to delay replication of certain files and folders, allowing you to manage bandwidth and prioritize the replication of critical data in real-time. By using scheduled replication, you can reduce the impact of replication on network bandwidth and ensure that critical data are replicated in real-time while less critical data are replicated on a schedule that makes sense for your organization. This can help to ensure that your data replication processes are efficient and effective, and that your network resources are being used as efficiently as possible.

To use scheduled replication, you create a scheduled replication filter that identifies the files and folders you want to replicate at a later time. The filter is based on file type. Once the filter is applied to a job, any files or folders that meet the criteria will be queued for replication at a scheduled time or interval that you specify.

Scheduled replication filters can be used with file collaboration, file replication, and file synchronization jobs. For information on defining a scheduled replication filter, see Scheduled Replication Filters in Preferences.

Note: When a scheduled replication filter is used in a file collaboration job, files that meet the filter criteria will not be locked.
