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

The File Metadata page allows you to specify whether you wish to replicate file security metadata and the types of metadata for synchronization. Additionally, it provides the ability to designate the metadata source (volume, share, export, or folder) to resolve conflicts during the initial synchronization. This designated source, utilized in case of conflicts, is referred to as the master host. This page also provides some additional options not available when creating the job. See File Metadata Synchronization in Advanced Topics for more information about file metadata synchronization.

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 Linux-based, proceed with NFS File Metadata.

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