Using Replication to Synchronize Data (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
Data replication is used to synchronize the data stored on a device with data stored in another location. The data could be file system objects, such as files and directories. OS databases can also be synchronized.
The OS uses a bit-based replication mechanism, based on maintaining bits of replication information about each object in the file system or database volume. It synchronizes up to two external stores.
Note
The device-side ActiveSync modules rely on the bit-based replication model.
If you implement persistent storage, you must also modify registry settings that control file replication. Persistent storage uses the file allocation table (FAT) file system, which does not provide native support for file replication. For more information, see File Replication for Persistent Storage.
