The following Bucket features will **not be replicated**, is designed to differ between sites:

- Bucket notification configuration
- Bucket lifecycle (ILM) configuration

## Pre-requisites

To disable replica metadata modification syncing, use `mc replicate edit` with the --replicate flag.

```
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"

sleep 120

# List the objects from replicated site
echo "Objects from replicated site"
./mc ls minio2/test-bucket --insecure
count1=$(./mc ls minio2/test-bucket/obj --insecure | wc -l)
if [ "${count1}" -ne 1 ]; then
	echo "BUG: object minio1/test-bucket/obj not replicated"
	exit_1
fi
count2=$(./mc ls minio2/test-bucket/mpartobj --insecure | wc -l)

guarantees provided by versioning. When existing object replication is enabled, these objects will be replicated as `null` versions to the remote targets provided they are not present on the target or if `null` version of object on source is newer than the `null` version of object on target.

If the remote site is fully lost and objects previously replicated need to be re-synced, the `mc replicate resync start` command with optional flag of `--older-than` needs to be used to trigger re-syncing...
