Protecting Specific Data Using the Connection Manager
Protecting Specific Data Using the Connection Manager
When protecting your data through the Connection Manager, you need to create your replication set manually on your own
first, and then connect it to your target using the Connection Manager. The connection itself provides disaster recovery
protection. If you want to extend the protection and provide high availability, you can add failover monitoring.
Creating a replication set
Before you can establish a connection, you must create a replication set.
1. Highlight a source in the left pane of the Management Console and select Insert , Replication Set from the menu bar. You
can also right-click on the source name and select New , Replication Set .
2. A replication set icon appears in the left pane under the source. By default, it is named New Replication Set .
Rename the newly inserted replication set with a unique name by typing over the default name and pressing Enter . This
process is similar to naming a new folder in Windows Explorer.
3. Expand the tree under the replication set name to view the volume and directory tree for the source.
4. Identify the data on the source that you want to protect by selecting volumes, drives, directories, and/or specific files.
5. After selecting the data for this replication set, right-click the new replication set icon and select Save . A saved
replication set icon will change from red to black.
NOTE: The default number of files that are listed in the right pane of the Management Console is 2500, but this is
user configurable. A larger number of file listings allows you to see more files in the Management Console,
but results in a slower display rate. A smaller number of file listings displays faster, but may not show all
files contained in the directory. To change the number of files displayed, select
File , Options and adjust the
File Listings slider bar to the desired number.
To hide offline files, such as those generated by snapshot applications, select File , Options and disable
Display Offline Files . Offline files and folders are denoted by the arrow over the lower left corner of the
folder or file icon.
NOTE: Be sure and verify what files can be included by reviewing Replication capabilities on page 13-2.
