Linking (Adding) a Folder to an Existing Job

After you create a Job, you can link to a Job at any other computer running an Agent.

• If the link is to a WAFS Job, the folder's data is fully accessible in read/write; i.e., you can modify, add, and delete data, and each Agent reflects these changes.

• If you link to a backup Job, the data from the source is immediately available in the specified folder in read-only or slave mode. In backup mode, there is only one master (the Agent that created the Job). Any backup Job can have any number of slave Agents, and so for a given Job you can have either point-to-point backup topology or one-to-many content replication topology in which each slave Agent immediately reflects changes in the master.

To link to an existing Job

1. Create a new empty folder on the Agent computer to link to the Job. It can have any name, but do not rename it or move it once you link to it.

2. Open the WAFS Agent Manager.

3. On the main menu, click Service > Create New Job. The Create New Job wizard appears.

4. Click Link to an existing job.

5. Specify the local folder to which you want to link the Job, then click Next.

6. Specify the Job Parameters, then click Next. The Data Access Options appear.

7. Specify the data access options, then click Next. (Refer to Changing Data Access Options, if necessary.) The Local Sync Options appear.

8. Specify whether to enable Local Sync and the folder for initial synchronization, then click Next.

9. The folder is linked to the Job.

10. Click Close.
