Newbie so be gentle :)

What happens if you change the sync criteria on a mirror, as an example;

Existing criteria

x:\a.mp4
x:\b.mp4
x:\c.mp4

change to

x:\

In other words, go from a list of files to the whole disk, will it recognise that the files have already been synced or will it start from scratch again?

Many thanks

IT will compare the two locations and should recognize them without issue. If you were to move/rename the files in that location, it would cause an issue though

No files should be moved.

At the moment I am having to specify each directory to be mirrored, see my other post, but when everything is copied I want to switch to just specifying the disks so that changes are covered, what I don't want is for everything to be copied again.

Thankss

It won't be. If it tries to, let us know

I've done some tests and as you said it does not duplicate the replication.

Again many thanks for your prompt help.
