Mirroring data

1. Make sure you have a valid domain and servers specified, click Configure from

the main Application Manager page, and then select the Connection tab.

Note: The fields on the Connection tab will vary depending on the type of

application you are protecting.

2. Specify your Mirror Settings.

l

Mirror Type—Select the type of Storage Mirroring Recover mirroring process
you want to perform. A Full mirror will transmit all files from the source to the
target. A Checksum mirror will transmit only the blocks of data that are
different between the source and target. A Source Newer mirror will transmit
only those files that are newer on the source than on the target. The newer
option is only available for file server protection when you have launched the
Application Manager using the

command line advanced option

.

l

Enable Compression—Compression allows you to reduce the amount of
bandwidth needed to transmit data from the source to the target. The data is
compressed before being transmitted and then is uncompressed before it is
written on the target. Typically, compression is used in WAN environments,
but not in LAN environments. If desired, enable compression and select the
level of compression that you want to use. All connections to the same target
will have the same compression settings.

3. Click OK to save the settings.
