How to Configure Replication (4043045)

Follow these steps:

1. You may start by either using the Replicate button at the top of the screen or click on the Replication menu icon on the top left set of icons of the core UI.  Using the Replicate button at the top launches the wizard immediately, the Replication icon menu button will take you to the Replication menu page.  While on the Replication menu page click on Add Target Core.

2. You will be presented with the Replication Wizard.  You will have two options to choose from to add your target or receiving core: having a subscription to a third party DR service and having your own target core.

The I have a subscription to a third party providing off-site backup and disaster recovery services option is used whenever you have a contract with a MSP or third party DR service provider and do not have access to their core.  They would need to acknowledge the connection on their end to establish the replication job.

The I have my own target core option is meant for adding a core you have access and control of to create your replication task.

3. Once entered the target core connection you will be given the option to rename the replication job (the default is the source core's hostname).

4. On the next and final screen, you will be presented with the list of machines you have under protection.  Choose all the machines you would like to replicate and hit the Finish button to save the task and have replication start immediately.

Note: Notice that once you select your machine(s) to replicate, you will be given the option to create a seed drive or initially pause replication.  An explanation on what is a seed drive and what involves to create one can be found here.
