Vaulting setup
A high-level overview of the steps required to set up vaulting between a backup system and vault is given here. Before beginning vaulting setup, determine whether the Unitrends system you plan to use as a vault has been installed as a vault, or a local backup system and a vault. If a system has been installed as a vault, a brown vault icon displays next to the name of the system in the Navigation pane. For instructions on installing a system as a vault, see System setup.
Proceed to the sections that follow for detailed instructions on setting up vaulting.

On vaulting setup. Vaulting and replication can both be set up using the Secure Tunnel Settings screen in the Administrator Interface. When you use this screen, the steps are the same for setting up vaulting and replication. Completing these steps sets up vaulting if replication is not supported on your Unitrends systems. You cannot set up vaulting with the Replication Wizard. |

On Fibre cable. To connect the backup system and vault using 10GbE fiber cable, both systems must be using the same NIC card model. Unitrends has switched from the HP NC522SFP Ducal Port 10GbE Server Adapter to the Intel Ethernet Server Adapter X520-DA2 Dual Port 10GbE. Verify that both the vault and backup system are using the same model before setting up vaulting. |

On compression. Beginning in release 8.0, appliances use LZ4 compression by default. LZ4 is not compatible with legacy vaulting. If you are running version 8.0 or higher, set compression to auto by following these steps: |

|
Select Settings > System Updates, and Licensing > General Configuration [Advanced]. |

|
Click to expand the Disk2DiskDefaults folder. |

Select the row containing CompressEngine, enter auto in the Value field, and click Confirm. |
