Media Mover jobs accelerate file transfers between file systems. As a job completes, you can track its progress by viewing its job details.
Large files that are actively transferring as part of a job create transient files tagged according to their current transfer status.
A file with the #work_file# tag is a file that is being transferred to disk. The file will also have a corresponding #checkpt_file# containing information about the source file, ensuring transfer integrity.
Once a file successfully transfers, the #work_file# tag is removed from the file name, and the associated #chkpt_file#is deleted.
You can modify the transient file naming modes as an advanced job option.
MediaDropBox transfers data between a single source location and one or more destinations. This job type checks a specified location at a set interval and transfers any new or changed content to the destination Agents.

MediaReplicator is a large-scale file transfer option that allows you to schedule a distribution of files from a source directory on an Agent to be replicated across multiple Agents.
MediaReplicator is optimized to transfer large numbers of files to multiple Agents and does not feature file readiness checks that are present with other Media Mover templates. MediaReplicator jobs should only be run when files are not growing or changing in file size.
To create a MediaReplicator job:
You can also set notifications to report job run status and set advanced configuration options on a job.
MediaReplicator jobs are not configured with a regular schedule. To set a run interval, adjust the Schedule section in the Add/Edit job menu.
For MediaReplicator jobs, enabling the Synchronize Target with Source option in the Advanced Options section allows you to remove files from the destination folder if they are not found in the source folder.
Note: Use caution when enabling Synchronize Target with Source. Any content deleted on the destination Agent is not recoverable.
Use the Notification and Logging settings to send email notifications about job activity.
A job's Email condition determines when to send an email to a set of recipients, and can be set using a To, CC, and BCC field, including multiple recipient addresses using a comma.
Email Job Failure Reports To allows you to set recipients to be notified when a job fails.
Set Job Scheduling to run a job on a regular basis, or for a specific date and time.
