9.1.2 When to Replicate
In the second step of the New Replication Task wizard, you should define the schedule of replicating
your virtual machines. There are two options available – creating a single time replication task (“Do
not schedule, run on demand”) and weekly scheduling. By default the schedule is to create replicas
daily at 12:00. In this step, you can change the default value or select “Do not schedule, run on
demand” which means that the replication task will not be executed on schedule. It will be started
either right after creating your replication task or can be run manually from the Tasks view.
New Replication Task, step 2 “When to replicate”
Replication task scheduling is the same as backup task scheduling. Detailed information on
scheduling options as well as scheduling examples can be found in “When to back up” section (p. 37).
After setting up your replication task schedule, click Next to go to the next step of the wizard.
9.1.3 Select location and datastore for replica
In the third step of the New Replication Task wizard you should define the location and datastore for
VM replicas. Here, you have to first define the ESX(i) Host by selecting one from the drop-down list.
Then, select the Resource Pool on the destination ESX(i) Host and destination datastore.
