Configuring backups for replication

Once your system is replicating, if you need to configure file-level or application backups for replication, use the following procedures:

ClosedTo replicate file-level backups
1 Log in to the source system and select Settings > Clients, Networking, and Notifications > Clients.
2 Select a client to be configured for replication.
3 Check the All backups performed on this computer are to replicated . . . box.

All subsequent file-level and bare metal backups for this client will be replicated to the target system. If this field is not checked, backups are not replicated for this client.

Note:  This option is not available for Hyper-V, VMware, and NDMP because only application-level backups are supported for these clients. Backups of NDMP volumes, virtual machines, and application databases will not replicate if you do configure only the client and not the application. To replicate the application backups of these clients, see To replicate application backups below.

4 Click Save.
5 Repeat this process to configure all desired clients for replication.
ClosedTo replicate application backups

Use this procedure to set up application database, virtual machine, and NDMP volume backups for replication.

Note:  If you add application databases, virtual machines, or NDMP volumes to your Unitrends appliance after setting up replication, their backups will not automatically replicate. You must configure them for replication.

1 In the Navigation pane, select the application whose data, virtual machines, or NDMP volumes you would like to replicate.
2 Select Replication > Replication Attributes.

A list of the application’s databases, storage groups, NDMP volumes, or virtual machines displays. If you do not see the desired items, click Reload to refresh the view.

If an item is marked unavailable, check that the database, storage group, NDMP volume, or VM is online.

3 Check boxes to select the items you wish to replicate.
4 Click Confirm to save your settings.
