If the source(VBHV-FS-01) and destination(VBHV-FS-11) just only have empty folder,its replication mechanism is very simple --- put data to VBHV-FS-01 and data will replicate to VBHV-FS-11.
If the source and destination folder has the different data on replicated folder, it will occur the DfsPrivate folder to handle the conflict or delete status.
If you want to delete data on the destination(VBHV-FS-11),
the file access denied message will show up because this folder attribute is read-only.
