NOTE: A minimum WAN bandwidth of 2Mbit/s is required for each replication job to ensure
that it completes successfully.

Replication deployment strategies

There are many deployment strategies; the following three are perhaps the most typical:
Active to Passive
Active to Active
Many to One
Active to Passive example
In the following example there are two offices, each with an HP StoreOnce Backup System. The
HP StoreOnce Backup System in Office A is being used by the host server for backup and restore
and the shares and libraries that have been configured on it are being replicated to matching
shares and libraries on the HP StoreOnce Backup System in Office B. A replication license is
required only for the HP StoreOnce Backup System in Office B. That license covers all
Replication-Target shares and libraries on Appliance B.

In the following example there are again two offices, each with an HP StoreOnce Backup System.
The HP StoreOnce Backup System in Office A is being used by the host server for backup and
restore and all Replication-Source libraries and shares are being replicated to matching
Replication-Target libraries and shares on the HP StoreOnce Backup System in Office B. However,
there is also a single host backing up to six cartridges on another library on the HP StoreOnce
Backup System in Office B. Two of those cartridges are configured to replicate to a Replication-Target
