Replication or Cleaner operations. The Replication and Cleaner operations will automatically run whenever the DR
Series system detects a window of inactivity when there are no other major system operations running.
NOTE: Replication schedules can only be set on individual replication-enabled source containers.
The Schedules page lets you create a new schedule for running Replication or Cleaner operations, or you can modify an
existing schedule for either of these operations. For more information about scheduling Replication or Cleaner
operations, see
Creating a Cleaner Schedule
NOTE: Cleaner operations are system processes that reclaim disk space from containers where files were
deleted. When no Cleaner schedule is set, the Cleaner process will run as needed.
The Schedules page displays the following:
System Time Zone: using the following format (US/Pacific, Tue May 1 10:33:45 2012)
Scheduled Replication operations: with day of the week (Sunday through Saturday), start time, and stop time
Scheduled Cleaner operations: with day of the week (Sunday through Saturday), start time, and stop time
NOTE: Schedules only control the source container in scheduled Replication operations; the target container is
passive in these operations.
