A Task schedules one or more Policies for execution. Tasks can be scheduled to run at specific times, or can be run on-demand via the Quick Run control on the 'Dashboard'.
While a Task is running, its status is displayed in the 'Running Tasks' panel of the 'Dashboard'. When Tasks finish they are moved to the 'Recent Tasks' panel.
Operation statistics are updated in real time as the task runs. Operations will automatically be executed in parallel, see E for more details.
If multiple Tasks are scheduled to start simultaneously, Policies on each Source are grouped such that only a single traversal of each file system is required.

Installation of the FileFly LinkConnect Server software requires careful configuration of both the NAS / file server and the FileFly LinkConnect Server machines. Instructions are provided in 5.4 for OneFS and 5.2 for Windows file servers. Other devices are not supported.

This section details the configuration of a DataCore FileFly LinkConnect Server to enable Link-Migration of files from Windows Server SMB shares. This option should be used when it is not possible to install DataCore FileFly Agent directly on the Windows file server in question. For other cases – where FileFly Agent can be installed on the server – please refer to 5.1.
Refer to 4.2 and and 4.9 for details of the Migrate and Link-Migrate operations respectively.
Link-Migration works by pairing a Windows SMB share with a corresponding LinkConnect Cache Share. Typically a top-level share on each Windows file server volume is mapped to a unique share (or subdivision) on a FileFly LinkConnect Server. Multiple file server shares may use Cache Shares / subdivisions on the same FileFly LinkConnect Server if desired.
Once this configuration is completed, Link-Migrate policies convert files on the source Windows Server SMB share to links pointing to the destination files via the LinkConnect Cache Share, according to configured rules.
Link-Migrated files can be identified by the 'O' (Offline) attribute in Explorer. Depending on the version of Windows, files with this flag may be displayed with an overlay icon.
