Configure Online Arcserve Replication Replication Scenario for Deduplication Devices

Arcserve Backup lets you configure Arcserve Replication replication scenarios on deduplication devices.

To configure scenarios for online replication

  1. From the Arcserve Replication Manager, select the scenario you created to replicate the deduplication device.
    1. Click the Properties tab for this scenario.
    2. Set the Replication, Mode property to Online.
  2. From the Arcserve Replication Manager, select the Master server to which the deduplication device is locally connected.
    1. Click the Properties tab for this server.
    2. Set the Spool, Spool Directory property to a folder on a different hard disk than the deduplication device. This improves performance.
  3. From the Arcserve Replication Manager, select the Replica server.
    1. Click the Properties tab for this server.
    2. Set the Scheduled Tasks, Replica Integrity Testing for Assured Recovery, Action on successful test, Create Shadow Copy (VSS) property to On.
    3. Set its child properties as desired:
      • Number of Snapshots to keep -- 10 is used as an example. Raise or lower this value, as desired.
      • Shadow Storage Volume -- Default
      • Max Storage Size per Volume -- Unlimited
    4. Set the Scheduled Tasks, Replica Integrity Testing for Assured Recovery, Scheduler property.
  4. Save the changes.

Run the deduplication device replication scenario.
