directory on the destination if it is not in the default location.
- Has read/write permissions to the Job Results directory.
- In the Pre/Post
Process tab, specify any commands to be run before a Recovery Point is created,
and/or after one has been created, and specify a User Account with permissions
to run the command(s) on the destination machine. For more information, see
Pre/Post Processes.

- Optionally, select the minimum file size to perform hash comparisons,
and the block size for hashing in the
Advanced tab.
- Optionally, filter the content of any Replication Pairs that are created
for this Replication Set in the
Filters tab. For
more information about CDR Filters, see

replication operations, do one of the following:
- Click the Add button and, in the Enter Path window, type

that you want to exclude from data replication. Repeat this step if you
want to add more files/folders/directories to the filter.
- Click the Browse button and expand the file system of the client
computer. Click the file/folder/directory that you want to exclude from
data replication and then click Add. Repeat this step for each additional
entry.
