Add a Replicate Task to the Plan

Create a replicate task to further protect your data by copying your backup data from one recovery point server to another recovery point server. The replication destination must be a data store in the recovery point server. You can create multiple replicate task to perform multiple replications.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click Add a Task from the left pane.

    A new task is added to the left pane.

  2. From the Task Type drop-down menu, select Replicate.

    The Replicate task is added. You do not have to configure the Source tab in the Replicate task because it reflects the backup destination from the Backup task.

  3. Click the Destination tab and enter the recovery point server details and retry schedule details.

    Start retry

    Specify the time (in minutes) to restart the replicate job after the job fails. For example, if you specify 10 minutes, then the replicate job will restart after 10 minutes of its failure.

    Limit: 1 to 60

    Retry

    Specify the number of times you want to start the replicate job when the job fails. The replicate job runs until the job is successful, or until the limit is reached.

    Limit: 1 to 99

    The replicate task is created.

You have successfully created and automatically deployed a replication plan.
