Possible Replication way
Hi,
I am having two BE appliance one at primary site and other at DR.
primery site contains 8 servers with overall size of 2 TB and DR contains 9 servers with approx the same 2 TB.
On both appliance I am taking backup of one fileserver having size 1 TB alone.
I want rplication of my data between these two appliance. If i use CASO and MMS then replication of such huge data will chockup my network.
SO i need solution over the possible way of replication without distrubing my network.
My main concern is about Fileserver having size 1 TB for replication.
IN CASO and MMS can we only replicate the Full backup only ??
Need solution.
Hi,
Your network should take strain the first time you do your replication. This is because it's going to replicate the dedupe folders from 1 server to the other.
Subsequent duplicate jobs should be smaller due to the way dedupe backups work where only changed blocks are copied to the respective sites.
You'd be using optimized dedupe, so if you haven't read up on it, then check below:

So...
1. first duplicate job will be the full dedupe folder from each appliance to the other;
2. Subsequent dupications will only be the changes so they should be significantly smaller, depending on the daily change rate.
It won't duplicate the full dedupe folder every time.
Thanks!
