- Source Directory
- Indicates the primary server directory, which contains the source data that is replicated from the Source Host.
- Target Host

- Target Directory
- Indicates the secondary server directory where the replicated data is stored.
- Scheduled Type
- Displays the file replication job scheduled information.
- GID
- Displays the numeric identifier of the group to which the file replication pair belongs.
- JID
- Identifies the numeric identifier of the job.
- Job Instance
- Indicates the number of times the file replication pair job has run.
- Exit Code

The View Details navigation tree provides the following information:
- More Details
- Contains links to log and trending information.
- Start Time
- Indicates the time when the file replication starts.
- End Time

- Indicates the time of the last activity.
- Data Compression
- Displays the amount of data compressed for transmission from the primary server to the secondary server.
- Sync Compression
- Displays the reduction in the amount of data transferred, expressed as a percentage, that is achieved by transferring differentials (transferring only the changed bytes). The formula is as follows:
1 - (Transfered / Total) x 100
The closer the percentage is to 100 the better the efficiency of the data transfer.
- Bytes Changed
- Total number of bytes transferred from the primary server to the secondary server during that particular schedule.

Tip: If the FX log option in the protection status contains a value that is greater than 1 GB, Internet Explorer will not be able to process the file. However, Firefox supports a file size up to 2 GB. To work around this limitation, use low verbosity in the job options.
Note: The Data Compression, Sync Compression, and Trending fields become active when the status of the job is Completed.
