This step is optional.

The File Metadata page lets you configure when and how file metadata is synchronized between source and target hosts.  You can choose to synchronize metadata in real time or only during the initial scan.  Options include whether to replicate file security metadata, which types of metadata to include, and which metadata source (volume, share, export, or folder) to use for resolving conflicts during initial synchronization.  This source, known as the master host, determines which version of the metadata is retained if discrepancies arise.  For more information, see File Metadata Synchronization in Advanced Topics.

The content of the File Metadata page depends on the file-sharing protocol you selected in Step 2:

•See SMB Protocol for details.

•See Multi-Protocol for details.
