Byte Replicator Overview Byte Replicator

<%REPLICATOR%> Options

The Byte Replicator screen enables and configures Block/Byte level synchronization for the selected Job. Through the use of this feature PeerSync will be able to transmit only the bytes/blocks of a file that have changed instead of transferring the entire file.

Use block/byte level synchronization

Select this option to enable/disable block/byte level replication. If this is disabled, PeerSync will use the standard copy method to synchronize the file. If the Byte Replicator fails to synchronize a file, i.e. On Failure, PeerSync will either:

Block Size Selection

This slider controls whether either Performance or Bandwidth Utilization is most important. Files synchronized with the slider set Low will take longer to complete than with the slider set High.

File Exclusions

Clicking on the Exclusions button in the Byte Replicator window opens theByte Replicator File Exclusions dialog. Files that match types in the exclusion string (types by file extension) or files that have a size lower than the Minimum File Size will use the default file copy method instead of the Byte Replicator feature.

Excluded File Types by Extension

Field containing a list of file types that will use the default file copy method instead of the Byte Replicator. This feature can be configured by clicking the button to the right of this field. For example, to exclude files with the extension LOG you may add either .log or log to the exclusion list. Multiple entries need to be semicolon (;) delimited.

Minimum File Size

Files with sizes lower than the value in this field will be copied using the default file copy method instead of using the Byte Replicator.

Port Configuration

Clicking on the Port Configuration button in the Byte Replicator window displays the Port Configuration dialog. This window allows for a common TCP and/or Byte Replicator configuration option for both the Source and Target paths (see the TCP Port Configuration tab for more information).

Note: The TCP WAN Connector (TCP) is an optional feature which may not be included in your package. Please visit http://www.peersoftware.com or contact Sales for additional information.

Note: The Profiler will not support Well Known Port numbers 0 - 1023. You must use port numbers that are greater than or equal to 1024.
