Peer Global File Service Help > File Collaboration Jobs > Editing a File Collaboration Job

The File Metadata page allows you to specify whether you wish to replicate file security metadata and select the types of metadata for synchronization. It also gives you the option to designate the metadata source (volume, share, export, or folder) to resolve conflicts during the initial synchronization. The metadata source you choose is referred to as the master host, which will be used to resolve conflicts if they occur.

This page also provides additional options not available during the job creation process. For more detailed information about file metadata synchronization, see File Metadata Synchronization in Advanced Topics.

The contents of the File Metadata page vary depending on whether you are using Windows-based or Linux-based Agents for your job:

•If you selected Windows-based, proceed with SMB File Metadata.

•If you selected multi-protocol (Windows and Linux), proceed with Multi-Protocol Metadata.
