vRanger 7.8.5 - Integration Guide for Quest QoreStor

Scheduling repository synchronization

When using scheduled repository synchronization, savepoints are replicated to the replication repository according to a configured schedule.

* 
NOTE: When scheduling repository synchronization, ensure that the synchronization activity does not occur at the same time as backup jobs using the synchronized repository.
To schedule a repository synchronization:
1
From the Tools menu on the vRanger toolbar, select Options.
2
Under the Repositories node, select Replication.
3
In the Repository Replication Configuration pane, find the Repository Name column, and select the applicable repository.
The repositories listed are the target repositories.
4
Select Schedule repository synchronization.
5
Configure the replication schedule as desired, using the following information as a guide.
a
Start: In the drop-down list, select the time for the replication task to begin.
b
Recurrence Pattern: Establish how often the changes should be synchronized. There are five options within this section:
•
Daily: The daily option can be scheduled to synchronize the repository every weekday or every x number of days.
•
Weekly: Repository synchronization can be configured to run on weekly intervals, from every week to every 99 weeks. The day of the week on which to run synchronization tasks can be configured.
•
Monthly: The monthly option offers the following configurations:
•
Day [x] of every [y] month:
x can be any value from 1 to 31. This value determines the day of the month on which the synchronization job occurs.
y can be any value from 1 to 99. This value determines the monthly interval — for example, every two months sets the job to run every other month.
•
The [f] [d] of every [y] month(s):
f can be either: first, second, third, fourth or last.
d can be: weekday, weekend day, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.
y can be any value from 1 to 99. This value determines the monthly interval — for example, every two months sets the synchronization task to run every other month.
•
Yearly: The yearly option offers the following configurations:
•
Every [m] [x]:
m is any month of the year. This value determines the month of the year in which the synchronization occurs.
x can be any value from 1 to 31. This value determines the day of the month on which the synchronization occurs.
•
The [f] [d] of [m]:
f can be either: first, second, third, fourth, or last.
d can be: day, weekday, weekend day, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.
m is any month of the year. This value determines the month of the year in which the synchronization occurs.
•
Interval: The interval option lets you select the number of days, hours, and minutes that should pass between synchronization jobs. The interval selected must be greater than or equal to five minutes.

Click OK to schedule the job.
