Configuring Replicas

 

Before you configure replication settings, you must first create public folder stores on the servers to which you want to replicate. Associate those stores with the public folder tree that contains the folder that you want to replicate.

After you create multiple public folder stores for a public folder tree, you need to identify the folders to replicate to the stores. Folders are not replicated automatically.

For detailed steps about how to configure public folder replicas, see How to Configure Public Folder Replicas.

Setting a Folder-Specific Replication Schedule

By default, folders in a specific public folder store replicate according to the store's schedule. If you have a few folders that should replicate more often or less often than others, you can set a specific replication schedule for those folders.

For detailed steps about how to override this schedule for a specific folder, see How to Set a Default Replication Schedule for a Folder or Public Folder Store.

Setting Replication Message Priority

The Replication message priority setting on the folder's Replication tab determines the order in which replication messages for the specific folder are delivered to the target store (relative to replication messages that the target store receives from other sources). The following table shows explanations for the settings that are available.
