Creating an application replica
To create an application replica:
1. From the Explorer menu, select Resources, and then Applications.
The Applications subwindow appears.
2. Expand the object tree and select a server.
The summary information for the selected server is displayed.
3. Select one or more application resources: storage groups (Exchange 2003/2007), information
stores (Exchange 2010), or database instances (SQL Server) and click Create Replica.
The Create Replica Wizard is launched.
4. On the 1. Select Target page, specify the task type and the target parameters:
1. To create a new task, select Create new task and choose Local or Remote for the location.
2. To edit an existing task, select Edit existing task and choose a task number.
5. Click Refresh. The object(s) selected are listed along with the subordinate components.
TIP:
Although displayed, Exchange 2003/2007 information stores cannot be selected because
storage groups are the lowest level of granularity supported. Exchange 2010 does not use
storage groups and individual information stores can be selected.
6. You can select objects in the Replica Source display. Select Dynamically add/remove target
resources according to resource changes if you want to account for resources that are
added/removed before the task is executed. (Otherwise new resources are not included in the
replica and deleted resources cause an error because they no longer exist.)
7. Click Next. The 2. Setup Options page is displayed.
You can make changes or simply use the default settings.
• For details on specifying the S-VOLs used for the replica (Target Generation), see “ Managing
generations (replica rotation) ” on page 369.
• Basic Options determine whether to abort the backup if there is a mismatch between the ac-
tual volume configuration and the one stored by Application Agent (repository). You can elect
to ignore any mismatch and allow the backup to complete (and update the repository).
NOTE:
For Exchange servers, Basic Options include the option to
Truncate Exchange transaction log files when the replica is created. If you select this option,
the existing replicas can no longer be used to perform roll-forward restores.
• Advanced Options control mount options, the processing of replica (backup) catalogs, and
the execution of jobs and scripts (used mostly for tape operations). For more information, see
“
Performing tape backups and restores ” on page 410.
When your selections are complete, click Next.
