replication set to ensure the data is replicated to the correct location. (The
second file can be a zero byte file if desired.)
●
Backups
●
Storage Mirroring Recover does not replicate the last access time if it is the
only thing that has changed. Therefore, if you are performing incremental or
differential backups on your target machine, you need to make sure that your
backup software is using an appropriate flag to identify what files have been
updated since the last backup. You may want to use the last modified date on
the file rather than the date of the last backup.
●
Virus protection
●
Virus protection software on the target should not scan replicated data. If the
data is protected on the source, operations that clean, delete, or quarantine
infected files will be replicated to the target by Storage Mirroring Recover. If
the replicated data on the target must be scanned for viruses, configure the
virus protection software on both the source and target to delete or
quarantine infected files to a different directory that is not in the replication
set. If the virus software denies access to the file because it is infected,
Storage Mirroring Recover will continually attempt to commit operations to
that file until it is successful, and will not commit any other data until it can
write to that file.
Creating a replication set
Before you can establish a connection, you must create a replication set.
1. From the Replication Console, highlight a source in the left pane of the Replication
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.
Note:
The default number of files that are listed in the right pane of the
Replication Console is 2500, but this is user configurable. A larger
number of file listings allows you to see more files in the Replication
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.
