In the CommCell Browser, right-click the Workstation Backup Agent icon of
the source machine, select All Tasks, then select Add Replication
Set.
In the
General tab, specify a name for the Replication Set and a Destination
Host that has CDR installed.
Use the User Name
field to specify Windows User Account that is part of the Local
Administrator group on the destination, with read/write permissions for the
product installation folders on the destination. If the replication logs
directory on the destination is not in the default location, then the User Name supplied here must also have read/write permissions for that
directory as well.
Optionally, select the minimum file size to perform hash comparisons,
and the block size for hashing in the
Advanced tab.
In the
Orphan Files tab, specify how
to treat data on the
destination, which is not on the source machine. See
Replication Configuration -
Orphan Files for more information. Orphan file processing is disabled by
default.
Optionally, filter the content of any Replication Pairs that are created
for this Replication Set in the
Filters tab. To exclude data from data
replication operations, do one of the following:
Click the Add button and, in the Enter Path window, type
the complete path (including drive letter) of the file/folder/directory
that you want to exclude from data replication. Repeat this step if you
want to add more files/folders/directories to the filter.
Click the Browse button and expand the file system of the client
computer. Click the file/folder/directory that you want to exclude from
data replication and then click Add. Repeat this step for each additional
entry.
To configure User Security for the Replication Set, after it has been created,
expand the Workstation Backup Agent icon of the source machine, right-click
the Replication Set and select Properties, then select the Security
tab. For more information, see User
Administration and Security.
To specify that all Replication Pairs created for this Replication Set are
to use a Common Base Folder
(the same folder on the destination host to contain all destination paths) see
Add or Edit a Replication Pair.
Create a Replication Set from a Replication Policy
To create
a Replication Set from a Replication Policy:
In the CommCell Browser, right-click the Agent icon of the source machine,
select All Tasks, then select Add Replication Set From Policy.
In the Select a Policy dialog box, select the replication policy
based on which you wish to create the replication set. The replication policies
created for the corresponding agent will be displayed. Click OK.
In the Enter Name dialog box, specify the name of the replication
set, and click OK.
The replication set will be created with the configurations available in
the selected replication policy.
Delete a Replication Set
When you delete a Replication Set, all of the following are deleted as well:
Ensure that all Replication Pairs that you are deleting are in the
"Stopped" state.
In the CommCell Browser, right-click a Replication Set icon, and select
All Tasks, then select Delete.
For CDR on UNIX,
if Recovery Points
were created for this Replication Set and any of the snapshots were mounted,
select the Unmount and delete any manually-mounted snapshots before deleting
replication set option.
Encryption settings made at the Replication Set level are for encryption
of data between the source machine and the destination machine.
Encryption must be enabled at the client level prior to configuring data
encryption for a Replication
Set residing on that client. See Configure
the Client for Data Encryption.
When Filtering is edited for a Replication Set, any existing and active Replication Pairs will be automatically aborted and restarted to effect the change. If the newly configured filtering excludes files or folders that had previously been replicated, these files and folders on the destination(s) will be handled according to your
Orphan Files settings.
To add/edit/delete a filter for a Replication Set:
In the CommCell Browser, right-click a Replication Set on the source machine, and select Properties.
In the Filters tab, specify the files and folders to filter from the content of any Replication Pairs that are created for this Replication Set. For more information, see
Replication Filters.
In the CommCell Browser, right-click the CDR icon, and select All Tasks,
then select Data Replication Monitor.
In the Data Replication Monitor, all replication activities will be displayed
for each Replication Pair. For more information about the States displayed,
see Job States.
To
filter which clients' activities are displayed:
In the Data Replication Monitor, right-click any Replication Pair, and select
Filters.
In the Filter Operations dialog box, select from the following:
Select an existing filter from the Filters list. (You can click
the View Filter Details button to see which clients each filter is
configured to monitor.)
Click the Create a New Filter button. In the Create a New
Filter dialog box, select the clients to be monitored and click OK.
Click Apply and then click Close.
The Data Replication Monitor will now show activities only for the Replication
Pairs for the clients defined in your selected filter.
Add or Edit a Replication Pair
Before You Begin
You can only update a Replication Pair
whose state is Stopped, New Pair, or Failed.
In the CommCell Browser, right-click a Replication Set in the source machine,
and select All Tasks, then select Manage Pairs.
To add a Replication Pair, in the
Manage Pairs dialog, perform the following:
Specify a
Common Base Folder
so that all destination paths for all Replication Pairs in the
Replication Set will be created in the same location on the
destination host.
For File System data, click Add. In the Add Replication Pair dialog box, type,
or click Browse to navigate to and select, a source volume or
directory for the Source Path and Destination Path fields, then click
OK.
For application data, click Add App; in the
Add Applications dialog, select all of the directories associated
with the application data to be replicated, and click OK. For
more information about replicating application data, see
Application Integration.
Add App discovers the location of system databases on the
client, as well as user-defined databases, which you can select for
data replication.
To edit a Replication Pair, in the Manage Pairs dialog, select
the new Pair or one to edit, click Edit, make any changes in the
Replication Pair dialog box, and click Close.
To specify that additional Replication Pairs must be created for mount
points that are part of your selected source volume or directory, select Automatically detect mount points. Mount points will be ignored if this
option is not selected.
To engage all the VSS writers available in the source path when gathering
backup data, select Engage All VSS Writers option.
