# Configuring the SyncIQ Policy Manually

To configure the Offline Replication of Snapshots feature for the Isilon storage array, you must configure the SyncIQ policy details.

## Before You Begin

- The source path that you configure in the SyncIQ policy must match the subclient content path.

- For NDMP IDA, when the subclient content path has wildcard at last level, you must add the parent path as source path in SyncIQ policy.

  For example, if the subclient content path is /ifs/myvol/dir1/tmp*, the source path should be /ifs/myvol/dir1.

## Procedure

- On the Isilon OneFS cluster, configure the SyncIQ policy details:

  - Enable the SyncIQ policy.

  - Set the action to synchronize.

  - Set the run jobs to manually run.

  - Make sure that you do not set any schedule.

  - Enable capture of snapshots on the target clusters.

  - Set snapshots to not expire.

  - Use the a target snapshot naming pattern that contains %S. The default target snapshot naming pattern is "SIQ_%{SrcCluster}_%{PolicyName}_%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M".
    Modify it to "SIQ_%{SrcCluster}_%{PolicyName}_%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S
