If you click the Replication icon from the icon bar, the Replication page appears. This page gives you an understanding of replication from the scope of this Core. It includes two panes:
• |
The Outgoing Replication pane lists any machines protected in this Core that are replicated on another Core. |
• |
The Incoming Replication pane lists the machines replicated on this Core, and the source Core from which these machines are replicated. |
This section describes the information shown in these panes.
Information about outgoing replication from this Rapid Recovery Core is described in the following table.
Information about incoming replication from another Core is described in the following table.
To replicate data using Rapid Recovery, you must configure the source and target cores for replication. After you configure replication, you can then replicate protected machine data, monitor and manage replication, and perform recovery.
Performing replication in Rapid Recovery involves performing the following operations:
• |
• |
• |
• |
• |
• |
• |
• |
• |
• |
• |
The Rapid Recovery Core must be installed on all source and target machines. |
• |
If you are configuring Rapid Recovery for multi-point to point replication, you must perform this task on all source Cores and the one target Core. For descriptions of these replication configurations, see Replication . |
A self-managed target Core is a Core to which you have access. For example, a self-managed Core is often managed by your company at an off-site location, or is hosted at a different geographic location than the source Core. Replication can be set up entirely on the source Core, unless you choose to seed your data using a seed drive. In such cases, you must create a seed drive using this procedure, and later attach the seed drive to the target Core to consume the archived recovery point data. For more information, see Determining your seeding needs and strategy.

The Replication Wizard appears.
3. |
On the Target Core page of the Replication Wizard, if you are establishing replication with a target Core that has been paired with this source Core previously, select Use an existing target Core, and then select the appropriate target Core from the drop-down list. Skip to step 5. |
4. |
On the Target Core page of the Replication Wizard, if you are establishing replication with a target Core from this source Core for the first time, select I have my own Target Core, and then enter the information as described in the following table. |
Enter the host name or IP address of the Core machine to which you are replicating. | |
Enter the port number on which the Rapid Recovery Core will communicate with the machine. | |
5. |
6. |
On the Request page, enter a name for this replication configuration; for example, SourceCore1. This is the display name used for the Incoming Replication pane on the target Core's Replication page. |
7. |
8. |
On the Protected Machines page, select the protected machines you want to replicate, and then use the drop-down lists in the Repository column to select a repository for each protected machine. |
NOTE: Because large amounts of data need to be copied to the portable storage device, Quest recommends using an eSATA, USB 3.0, or other high-speed connection to the portable storage device. |
a. |
On the Protected Machines page of the Replication Wizard, select Use a seed drive to perform the initial transfer. |
▪ |
If you currently have one or more protected machines replicating to a target Core, you can include these protected machines on the seed drive by selecting Include already replicated recovery points in the seed drive. |
▪ |
If you do not want replication to begin immediately after completing this procedure, select Initially pause replication. |
b. |
c. |
On the Seed Drive Location page of the Replication Wizard, use the Location type drop-down list to select from the following destination types: |
▪ |
▪ |
▪ |
d. |
e. |
f. |
On the Seed Drive Options page of the Replication Wizard, enter the information as described in the following table. |
| |||||||
In the event the path already contains a seed drive, select one of the following options:
| |||||||
