Repository server requirements
This is the server that will be protecting your source server(s).
●
Operating system—The repository server can be a physical or virtual server
running any of the following operating system editions.
Note:
If you are protecting an entire server, your repository server must have a
same or newer operating system than the source (not including service
pack level). For example, you cannot protect a Windows 2008 source to a
Windows 2003 repository server. This is because the repository server
must be able to process the source's registry for system state processing.
●
Windows Server 2008 Datacenter, Enterprise, Standard, Essential Business
Server, Web Server, Foundation Server, Small Business Server, or Storage
Server Edition
●
Windows Server 2003 or 2003 R2 Datacenter, Enterprise, Standard, Web
Edition, Small Business Server, or Storage Server Edition. Each of the
Windows 2003 operating systems require Service Pack 1 or later.
●
Architecture—32-bit and 64-bit architectures are supported
●
File system—Storage Mirroring Replicate supports the same file system formats
that Microsoft supports: FAT, FAT32, and NTFS.
●
System memory—There are different memory requirements depending on the
system architecture you are using. Be sure you have at least the minimum amount
of memory for your environment. You should consider having at least the
recommended amount of system memory, especially if your repository server is
protecting multiple source servers.
Architecture Minimum System Memory Recommended System Memory
32-bit 128 MB At least 1024 MB
64-bit 512 MB At least 2048 MB
●
Disk space for program files—This is the amount of disk space, approximately
130 MB, needed on the repository server to hold the Storage Mirroring Replicate
program files.
●
Disk space for data files—This is the amount of disk space on the repository
server to hold all of the source data files. This will be dependent on the number of
sources you are protecting, the applications you are running on each source, and
the amount of data files on each source.
