This article serves as a guide for users who want to configure replication for a self-managed Core.
NOTE: This configuration applies to Replication to an Off-site Location and to Mutual Replication. If you are configuring AppAssure 5 for Multi-Point to Point replication, you must perform this task on all source Cores and the one target Core.
A self-managed core is a core is managed by you or your company, rather than a third party such as a managed service provider (MSP). The target core can be on a local machine or located at an off-site location. If you want to replicate one or more source cores to a target core, you must configure all of the cores before replication can begin.
Complete the following steps to configure replication for a self-managed core.

6. Select the agents you want to replicate, and then select a repository for each agent.
7. If you plan to perform the seeding process for the transfer of the base data, select the check box next to Use a seed drive to perform initial transfer.
