```
mc replicate edit alias/bucket --id xyz.id --replicate "delete,delete-marker"
```

To re-enable replica metadata modification syncing,

```
mc replicate edit alias/bucket --id xyz.id --replicate "delete,delete-marker,replica-metadata-sync"
```

It must be noted that if active-active replication is set up with delete marker replication, there is potential for duplicate delete markers to be created if both source and target concurrently set a Delete Marker or if one/both of the clusters went down at tandem before the replication event was synced.This is an unavoidable side-effect in active-active replication caused by allowing delete markers set on a object version with `REPLICA` status back to source.

	// Reports number of drives currently healing
	MinIOHealingDrives = "x-minio-healing-drives"

	// Header indicates if the delete marker should be preserved by client
	MinIOSourceDeleteMarker = "x-minio-source-deletemarker"

	// Header indicates if the delete marker version needs to be purged.
	MinIOSourceDeleteMarkerDelete = "x-minio-source-deletemarker-delete"

	// Header indicates permanent delete replication status.

Now the delete marker becomes the current version of the object. GET requests by default always retrieve the latest stored version. So performing a simple GET object request when the current version is a delete marker would return `404` `The specified key does not exist` as shown below:
