Replication - Local to Local

[horna]

Running 6.5.2 client and 6.5.3 server.
I am trying to archive from a network drive to my local hard drive. The initial replication works great, BUT when I try and run replication again, it looks like it will do something, but then just ends up with "0 Received, 0 Sent".
Does Notes allow non-server replication??? Basically, network drive to local hard drive.

Thanks for your help. This is driving me crazy. I have been looking for an option, or flag of some kind to change, but can not find anything.

Are you sure you are replicating the right db ? Be sure to select the icon of the local copy and then right-click and choose Replicate.

That should do the job.

I left out that I am trying to replicate my archive file. It is located on my network drive.
While in the replication screen, I select File, Replication, Replicate..., and Browse. I then pick my archive file from the network drive, and this brings me back to the Choose Database Dialog Screen, where I hit the Select Button. Then on the replication screen, I hit the Yellow Folder Button, and put in where I want the destination archive file to go, which is my local hard drive. I then hit the OK Button, and away it goes.
It copies the archive database perfectly, BUT it disappears from the replication screen, which means I can not run the replication for the archive file again.
It did work once, which meant it put it out there on the replication screen, but I am not sure why it does not work all the time.
Thanks for your help.

It does not matter that the file is not on your hard disk. For Notes, anything that is not on the Domino server is Local.

Yes, both files are local. The file on the network, and on my local hard drive. Basically, a local to local replication.
Funny thing is I got it to work once, but now it does not show up in my replication area. It copies over fine, network ==> local dirve, but acts like a once and done replication. I want to be able to run it again to keep up on changes.

Hmm. Local to local replication is not really what Lotus had in mind with that functionality. When you replicate, you're supposed to replicate with the server, not with a local copy.
I don't see how you can make this work without a server.
