By default, Volume Replicator is enabled to perform intelligent synchronization, which means that Volume Replicator replicates only those data blocks on the volumes that the application uses. However, if you want Volume Replicator to replicate all the data blocks then you must disable intelligent synchronization.

For information about how to edit the registry, refer to the Help topic "Changing Keys and Values" in Registry Editor Regedit.exe or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Make sure that you back up the registry before you edit it. After changing the registry, make sure that you update your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).

Note:

Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Thus, before you edit the registry, make sure that you understand how to restore it, if a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, refer to the "Restoring the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a Registry Key" Help topic in Regedt32.exe.

To disable intelligent synchronization

Open the registry editor using the command, regedit.

Navigate to the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\vxio\VVRParams\

Set the DWORD SwiftSync to a value 0. By default, this DWORD value is set to 1, indicating that the intelligent synchronization support is enabled.
