SyncIQ deep copy

You can create a SyncIQ policy that replicates full files rather than SmartLink files when copying data from the primary (source) cluster to a secondary (target) cluster.

When you create a SyncIQ policy, you can modify the Deep Copy for CloudPools setting. The default setting is Deny, which means that, during a SyncIQ operation, SmartLink files are replicated to the target cluster.

Alternatively, you can select either the Allow or Force option for deep copy.

  • Allow replicates SmartLink files to the target cluster, unless there is a SmartLink version mismatch. In that case, SyncIQ retrieves the full file data from the cloud and then replicates the data.
  • Force retrieves and copies full file data from the cloud for all SmartLink files in the SyncIQ policy. This option replicates the full files to the target cluster.
NOTE A SyncIQ operation that forces deep copy can take more time, consume more system resources, and increase costs to download the data. It is recommended not to use deep copy unless you have a specific reason to do so. For example, use deep copy to back up data from the primary cluster to a secondary cluster that is running a pre-8.2 version of OneFS. If you are unsure whether to use deep copy, contact Technical Support for guidance.
