8. The Replica Options tab can be used to set the following:
• For database servers: Protection Status Options (to set the status of old replicas to “Critical”),
Replica Task Options (to define the behavior when a task fails), and Email Options (for noti-
fication of task status).
• For backup servers: Replica Task Options (to prevent the backup server from accessing
mounted replicas and control whether secondary volumes are concealed from the backup
server) and VSS Options (to enable multiple servers to perform verifications as described in
“
Parallel verification count and number of backup servers ” on page 66).
TIP:
For backup servers, after creating copy pairs be sure to set the Conceal Replicas option. If

About concealing/revealing replica volumes

volumes. These secondary volumes must be concealed (hidden) from the backup server, or they will
