Locked File Method

By clicking on the Global Settings link from the Managed Files window you will be able to configure the Global Managed Files Options. Alternatively you can access this screen from theGlobal Settings window or from the Options menu. This window now allows for the option of using either of the following technologies to manage open/locked files:

Use Embedded Open File Manager (EOFM)

Through a partnership with open file technology leader St. Bernard Software, PeerSync is now equipped to have total access to all open and locked files. In order to enable this feature you will require the EOFM add-on module. EOFM is a complete volume snapshot solution designed to create a point-in-time copy of volumes for reliable backup of open/locked files

Use Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)

VSS has been integrated with PeerSync to allow synchronization of open/locked files. In order to enable this feature you will require the VSS 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.

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 theGlobal Settings window or from the Options menu.

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.
