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"

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...

### Motivation

**PLEASE READ: This feature is meant for advanced use-cases only where the setup is using bucket versioning or with replicated buckets, use this feature to optimize versioning behavior for some specific applications. MinIO experts will evaluate and guide on the benefits for your application, please reach out to us on <https://subnet.min.io>.**
