Replication setup

Unitrends releases 7.2 and higher feature a Replication Wizard for quick and easy setup. The procedures described in this section are run using the wizard. Manual setup is still supported if you are running an earlier system or if you are familiar with the setup process and prefer to perform it from the WAN Settings or Secure Tunnel Settings page. For details on using these pages, see KB 3174.

Replication between Unitrends systems can be set up in two ways, both of which can be performed through the wizard:

Standard replication where one system is the source that replicates to a second target system. In this case, the target system must be configured with the replication target or local backup system and replication target installation type to receive replicated data.
Cross-replication where the two systems replicate to each other. In this case, both systems must be configured with the replication target or local backup system and replication target installation type to receive replicated data.

Setup procedures differ for these configurations. Proceed to one of the following to setup the desired configuration:

Standard replication setup
Cross-replication setup
