From the CommCell Browser, right-click the Replication Policies node,
then click New Replication Policy. The Create New Replication Policy
dialog is displayed.
In the
General tab, specify a name for the Replication Policy and a Destination
Host that has the replication Agent installed. If required, for Windows, in the
User Name field, specify a 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 agent uses replication
logs, and 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.
Specify a
Common Base
Folder so that all destination paths for all Replication Pairs in the Replication
Sets (created with this Replication Policy) will be created in the same location
on the destination host.
Specify the type of replication for which the replication sets created using
this replication policy will be used. The following replication types are available.
Continuous Replication - to create replication sets for CDR to
replicate data in ContinuousDataReplication
mode.
Disk Library Replication - to create replication sets for CDR to replicate
data in Disk Library Replication mode.
Workstation Backup - to create replication sets for
Workstation Backup
Agents.
In the Pre/Post
Process tab, specify any commands to be run before a data protection
operation (like Recovery Point creation, backup job, etc.)
and/or after the operation, and specify a User Account with permissions
to run the command(s) on the destination machine. For more information, see
Pre/Post Processes.
In the
Orphan Files tab, specify how to treat data on the destination, which is
not on the source machine.
Optionally, filter the content of any Replication Pairs that are created
for this Replication Set in the
Filters tab. For
more information about Filters, see
Replication Filters. 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 OK to save your changes.
User Security is configured at the Replication Set level. To specify the
security options, expand the 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 add
new Replication Pairs, or update existing Replication Pairs:
In the CommCell Browser, right-click a Replication Policy to which you wish
to add the Replication Pair, and select All Tasks, then select Manage
Pairs.
To add a Replication Pair, in the
Manage Pairs dialog, click Add. In the Add Replication Pair dialog
box, type a source volume or directory for the Source Path. Keep in mind that
this path must be valid source path in the target computer where the replication
pair is created, using this replication policy.
To edit a Replication Pair, in the Manage Pairs dialog, select the
Pair to edit, click Edit. Make any changes to the source path in the
Edit Replication Pair dialog box, and click OK.
To specify that all VSS writers must be engaged when the acquiring the source
snap, select the Engage All VSS Writers option. Use this option to create
backups that are consistent with the source.The
Automatically detect mount points option is not applicable when adding
Replication Pairs to the Replication Policy.
When your changes are complete, click Apply.
Filtering of content for Replication Pairs is configured at the Replication
Set level; see
Replication Filters.
