Resiliency to replication failures is enhanced with SmartSync, minimizing replication times even when a job runs into an error. Traditionally, if a replication job encounters an error, the entire policy would fail, requiring an administrator to start over on the next replication attempt. With SmartSync jobs, if an error occurs, the job goes into a paused state. For each error, a log snippet containing the error is generated under /ifs/data/Isilon_Support/datamover/transfer_failure.
Once a job is in the pause state, an administrator has three options, as illustrated in Figure 4. The options are:
