Re: Site Configuration

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi Sean,

All communications between the primary and the secondaries are done using
SMB. But the senders are pretty smart and will recover from comms errors
without restarting the file being sent. Another important thing is that
using senders only a delta is sendt. So if you update your package only the
changed files are sent to the child site not the whole package (contrast
with the way dp-> advanced client comms work).
