Creating or modifying replication rules manually
There may be times when you cannot browse for data when creating a replication set.
For example, you can create a replication set rule for a directory or file that does not
exist. Since you cannot browse for the location, you have to create replication set rule
manually. At other times, the data you want to replicate cannot be easily selected from
the Replication Console. For example, you may want to select all .db files from a specific
volume or directory. This task may be easier to complete by creating the replication set
rule manually. Use the following instructions to create or modify a replication set rule
manually.

2. If you do not have a replication set created, you need to create one. Highlight a
source in the left pane of the Replication Console and select Insert, Replication
Set from the menu bar. You can also right-click on the source name and select
New, Replication Set. A replication set icon appears in the left pane under the
source. By default, it is named New Replication Set. Rename the newly inserted
replication set with a unique name by typing over the default name and pressing
Enter. This process is similar to naming a new folder in Windows Explorer.
3. Right-click on the replication set icon and select Properties. The Replication Set
Properties dialog box appears and lists any existing rules. The existing rules may
have been entered manually or selected by browsing the source. Each rule will
display the attributes associated it.
