For instance, if I have two 5.x servers, and want to replicate serverA:/fs1 -> serverB:/fs1, from what I can tell, I setup/startup ggated on serverA, and serverB is setup with ggatec to "pull" that data across ... correct? Now, how do you get serverB:/fs1 in sync with serverA:/fs1 in the first place? Is there an 'initialize' function that will have ggatec pull everything across? ---- Marc G.
