When a Unitrends system is deployed, as discussed in the Getting Started chapter, it is configured with one of the following installation types:
| • | Local backup system – Used to protect the physical and virtual infrastructure on-premise. |
| • | Replication target – Used as a replication target for one or more backup systems. |
| • | Local backup system and replication target – Used as a backup system for the local physical and virtual environment, and also serves as a replication target for another backup system(s). |
Supported installation types by system are given in the following table.

Once the system’s installation type is set to replication target or local backup system and replication target, it can be configured to receive replicated data. The amount of data that can be replicated from backup systems to the target depends on various factors, namely:
| • | The rate at which data changes on the clients protected by the local backup systems. |
| • | The bandwidth available between the source and target systems. |
