What replication types are there?

There are two major types of replication:

PULL — the server which initiates replication receives modified documents from a remote server.
PUSH the server which initiates replication sends modified documents to a remote server.

If Dr.Web for IBM Lotus Domino is installed on both servers which take part in the replication process, then virus detection and document curing is carried out without any problems. However, there are some peculiarities in the operation of the plug-in which should be kept in mind in cases when Dr.Web for IBM Lotus Domino is installed on one of the servers:

Action

Task which performs replication and virus detection

Comments

A protected server performs a PUSH-replication to an unprotected server

replica

An infected document on the protected server will be cured during replication, i.e. the unprotected server will receive a cured document. However, the document will not be cured on the protected server even after the next replication.

nserver

During first replication, the protected server detects viruses in received documents. At the next replication, neutralized documents are replicated to the unprotected server.

A protected server performs PULL-replication from an unprotected server

replica

The protected server detects viruses in received documents and saves them after neutralization. These documents are not sent to the unprotected server even after the next replication.
