Thanks for this great article. It has answered some of my questions. We use One way replication to replicate data from a Hub server to the Datacenter and I did not want to take any chances of having any data accidentally deleted and replicate back to the Hub Server. If I enable full replication do I set ACLs on the root folder to Read Only? Or is there a better way to accomplish this? I want to minimize the chance of any data being deleted at the Datacenter and replicating that to the Hub Server. Thanks.
