As a means of a disaster recovery plan, WCN offers you the ability to synchronize the contents of the source with the bucket. Thus, in case a replicated file has no nearline counterpart on the source volume, WCN automatically creates it as a stub file after synchronizing the contents with the bucket.
If versioning is enabled and there is more than one version of a file on the bucket, WCN restores the version, which has been last used on the source (i.e., this may not be the latest version of the file).
You can choose to synchronize the contents of the current directory on the source only or to execute the command recursively, also synchronizing all data in all subfolders.
With a NAS source, you need to synchronize the contents of the control folder and the bucket. When missing files are restored in the control folder in the form of stub files, you can retrieve them manually on the source.
To synchronize source and bucket contents through the shell extension:
- In Windows Explorer, right-click the folder whose contents you want to synchronize with the bucket.
- To synchronize just the contents of the folder with the bucket, select Wasabi Cloud NAS | Import from bucket.
Or, to synchronize the contents recursively (i.e., the contents of the selected folder and the contents of all its subfolders), select Wasabi Cloud NAS | Import recursively from bucket.
