Replication Seeding

Replication Seeding

The DR Series systems support replication seeding, which provides the ability to create a local seed and place it in a remote system. The seed backup is a process on the source DR Series system, which collects all of the unique data chunks from the containers and stores them on the target device. This is helpful if you have a new replication target DR to set up, the amount of data to be replicated is very large, and the network bandwidth is low. You can seed the target replica with the source data saved on a third party device, for example, a CIFS—mounted share, attach it to the target DR and then get the data into the target DR. Once the seeding is complete, replication is enabled between source and target and replication re-synchronization is done to complete any pending data transfers. Thereby, continuous replication can be done, which reduces network traffic significantly, and data can be replicated and synced with the target in a short amount of time.

You initiate seeding using CLI, and the data to be seeded is gathered in an organized manner and stored in the target devices. Refer to the Dell DR Series System Command Line Reference Guide for more information about replication seeding support.

Reverse Replication

Reverse Replication

The concept of reverse replication is not a supported operation on DR Series systems. This is because replica containers are always in a R-O (read-only) mode on the DR Series system, thus making write operations a non-supported operation.

Under very specific conditions, it might be possible for replica containers to support a type of write operation whose sole function is to restore data from an archival target. For example, data could be replicated back to the remote site where a data management application (DMA), or backup software, is connected to allow this data to be restored directly.

This specific type of case applies only to configurations where data is backed up from a remote location to a local container, and then replicated over a WAN to a replica container that is backed up to tape. The data needs to be restored from the tape backup to the original location; first back to a DR Series system replica container, and then back to the original source location of the data on the other side of the WAN link.

To leverage this type of deduplication across the WAN, complete the following:

Under this scenario, a fraction of the data to be recovered is sent across the WAN link. This could speed up a remote restore significantly. However, there are some downsides to this type of scenario:

Supported File System and Tape Access Protocols

The DR Series system supports the following file system and tape access protocols. The Rapid Data Access (RDA) protocols below provide a logical disk interface that can be used with network storage devices to store data and support data storage operation.
