Active Replication Operations pane

The Active Replication Operations pane contains details of each backup that is currently being replicated to the target. See these topics for details:

ClosedActive Replication Operations hierarchy

The information is arranged in the following way:

• Client folder - Replicating backups are grouped by client. Client folders display first in the hierarchy and are named in the following format:
SourceSystem : SourceClient : BackupInstance -> TargetSystem. For a description of source, client, instance, and target, see To view active replication details. Click the arrow to the left of the folder to expand or collapse the view.
• Replicating backups - Beneath the Client folder, replicating backups for this client display with the most recently created jobs higher in the list.

The Active Replication Operations pane contains the following information for each active operation:

• ID – The ID of the source backup.
• Status – An icon indicating that the backup is being replicated to the target.
• Type – The type of backup being replicated. This includes the standard backup types, e.g., master, differential, bare metal, SQL full, etc. In addition, you may see a backup type called System Metadata, which is a small backup of internal state information that is periodically transmitted from the source system to the target. This state is preserved to be used during a system restore, if ever needed.
• Phase – Current processing phase, indicating that the backup is being replicated to the target. Each replication job goes through four phases: prepare, replicate, processing, and wait/target processing. For details, see KB 2899.
• Phase Start Date/Time – The time at which replication began.
• Progress – The completion percentage for this operation. In progress displays if a percentage cannot be calculated.
• Elapsed – The elapsed time for this operation.
• Estimated Phase Completion – The estimated date and time replication should complete, based on the current transfer rate. It is important to note that this projection is based on speeds seen at that time interval. During the day, if throttling is being used to limit the network bandwidth used for replication, projected completion times may be displayed that are later than anticipated. If the percentage of bandwidth allowed is higher, the projected completion time will be more accurate for an environment.

Note that there are some instances in which the final size cannot be determined up front, so the percent complete cannot be derived. In this case, in progress displays.

ClosedViewing backups in the Active Replication Operations pane

Items displayed are filtered by your selection in the Navigation pane:

• Select the replication target (brown vault icon) to see replicating backups for all source systems.
• Select the source system (blue server icon) to see replicating backups for the selected system only.

See the following topics for details:

Active Replication Details


Description

Client

Source system client for which this backup was run.

Complete

Indicates whether the replication job completed.

Current Size

Amount of data replicated so far for this backup. Once replication completes, Current Size equals FinalSize.

Data Remaining

Amount of data not yet replicated for this job.

Date

Date and time the replication started.

ElapsedTimePhase

Duration of this phase in hh:mm:ss format (hours, minutes, seconds).

ElapsedTimeTotal

Duration of the overall replication job in hh:mm:ss format (hours, minutes, seconds).

FinalSize

Final size of the replicated backup.

FullTimeRemaining

Estimate of time remaining for this replication job.

ID

ID of the source backup on the source system.

Instance

Displays the following, depending on backup type:

• For file-level backups, instance is file-level.
• For VMware or Hyper-V, name of the guest VM.
• For SQL, Exchange, or Oracle, name of the database or storage group.
• For SharePoint, instance is Farm.

InstanceItem

Instance item.

Last

Indicates whether this is the most recent backup of this type for this client.

Phase

Current processing phase, indicating that the backup is being replicated to the target. Each replication job goes through four phases: prepare, replicate, processing and wait/target processing. For details, see KB 2899.

PhaseSource

Indicates whether this phase is being run on the source or target system.

Purgeable

Indicates whether this backup is eligible for purging on the source system.

ReplicationStart

Time at which this replication job started.

ReplicationPhaseStart

Time at which this phase in the replication job started.

System

Source backup system from which data is replicating.

System ID

ID assigned to this source system on the replication target.

TargetName

Name of the target to which the backup is replicating.

TimeRemaining

Estimate of the time needed to complete this replication job.

TransactionRate

Current transfer speed of the replication job.

Type

Backup type. File-level backup types include full/master, differential, incremental, selective, and bare metal. Application backup types vary by application. Application name is included in the backup type name (for example, Exchange Full).

ClosedTo terminate a replication in progress
1 Each job in the Active Replication Operations pane contains a trash can icon. Click the trash can icon in the desired row to launch the Remove Items from Replication Queue page.
2 Choose one of the following criteria:
• Remove Queue Items by their backup number to terminate the selected job only.
• Remove Queue Items by their client to terminate all running replication jobs and remove all pending replication jobs for this client.
3 If desired, check Add deleted items to the end of the queue.
• If the backup number criteria is selected, the active job is terminated and added to the end of the pending operations queue.
• If the all client items criteria is selected, any terminated active or pending jobs are added to the end of the pending operations queue.
4 Click Confirm to terminate and/or remove jobs.
