  • Allow Synchronization

  • Select this option to allow manual and scheduled full synchronizations of Net Folders on the appliance.

    IMPORTANT:This setting must be selected for at least one Filr appliance in a Filr cluster. If it is not, no manual or scheduled full synchronizations can happen.

  • Max Simultaneous Syncs:

  • The number of Net Folders that can be synchronized simultaneously during a manual or scheduled full synchronization.

    The default is 5.

  • Threads Per Sync:

  • The number of threads that each synchronization can use.

    The default is 4.

  • For optimal performance, modify this value to be equal to the number of CPUs on the appliance, multiplied by 1.5.

    For example, if your appliance has 2 CPUs, change this value to 3.

  • The max value that you can set is the number of CPUs on the appliance multiplied by 3.

    For example, if your appliance has 2 CPUs, the max value is 6.
