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

The File Metadata page enables you to configure how and when file metadata is synchronized between source and target hosts. Metadata is synchronized in real time and during scans.

Available options include specifying whether to replicate file security metadata, selecting which metadata types to include, and defining the metadata source (volume, share, export, or folder) to use for resolving conflicts during initial synchronization. This designated source, referred to as the master host, determines which version of the metadata is retained when discrepancies occur.

For more information, see File Metadata Synchronization in Advanced Topics.

This page also provides additional options not available during the job creation process.

The available options depend on the file-sharing protocol selected for the job:

•See SMB Protocol for details.

•See Multi-Protocol for details.
