File Manager Interval

By clicking on the Global Settings link from the Managed Files window you will be able to configure the File Manager Interval option. Alternatively you can access this screen from the Global Settings window or from the Options menu.

PeerSync uses the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) in order to allow synchronization of open/locked files. In order to enable this feature you will require the Managed Files add-on module. Developed by Microsoft, VSS is a storage management framework designed to create a point-in-time copy/snapshot of a volume. This method works well with applications that are VSS compliant. VSS does not support Novell NetWare systems.

Run Managed Files List Manager every x minutes

By default the Managed Files is set to run on an interval of 120 minutes. This interval may be changed by simply changing the interval time. By default, Managed Files will run at the end of the initial scan if Scan Job once at start is enabled. Subsequent open and locked files detected in real-time or during scans will be thrown into the Managed Files list to be processed based on the Managed Files interval.

Locked and Managed Files List Options

Partial Locked Extensions

A semi-colon delimited list of file types that are partially locked when opened by other applications (i.e. Outlook PST files).

If Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) is enabled, PeerSync will always process files with the specified extensions as though they are open and locked files. If VSS is not enabled, then PeerSync will pre-scan the files to ensure complete access before file copy.

Use Managed Files for Partial Locked Extensions

If checked, any file that is in the Partial Locked File Extension List (default: .pst files) will always be synchronized using VSS without scanning the file for partial locks.
