# File Replication

## How to Initiate a Replication Using a Batch Process

| ### What to do:
| When a user tries to check out a file from the local vault that is not available the Replication Mode window is opened automatically. Otherwise, the batch file replication option will not be available.
| Please refer to the FileServer section for detailed information regarding the file check-out procedures.
| Select option "2) Batch" and click OK to confirm your selection.
| Document files are now copied to the local vault according to the settings specified for the batch process. The replication can be initiated at a later time.
| Only users with manager privileges can schedule the times of file transfers.
