Idea:

Now with DAOS in Domino 8.5, whenever I go to "archive" a user's mail file & archive mail file before deleting them from the system, I need to do a create local replica instead of just copying the nsf files at the O/S level, When I do this, it creates an entry in my replicator page (actually up to 6 entries- mail file, archive file, archive log, local nab, jornal, & bookmarks) that I then have to keep deleting. It would be nice to have an option when creating a local replica on wether this is a one-time thing (so no entry on replicator page needed) or a on-going thing (would want the entry made).

Comment: Reading your description says, there are two different intenions to create a replica. One for personal use (adding is ok) and one for administrational use (no adding wanted). Maybe creating replicas in Administrator should not create an entry?!

Comment: @1 I concur... perhaps an Admin client preference to modify the behavior. But, if you disable the auto Replication tab replica icon creation, then for the majority of users in anorganization needing to replicate their data, this process would break, plus the number of Help Desk calls you would receive and the spread of dissatisfaction in the user community could be painful for the IT Dept.
