The Snap Enterprise Data Replicator (Snap EDR) is preinstalled and/or customized for the
SnapServer.

Snap Enterprise Data Replicator (Snap EDR)

Snap EDR provides server-to-server synchronization by moving, copying, or replicating the
contents of a share from one SnapServer to another share on one or more different
SnapServers. It comes preinstalled on some servers with a 45-day free trial, or it can be
downloaded from the SnapServer website.
Snap EDR consists of a Management Console and a collection of Agents. The Management
Console is installed on a central system. It coordinates and logs the following data transfer
activities carried out by the distributed Agents:
• Replicates files between any two systems including Windows, Linux, and Mac Agents.
• Transfers files from one source host to one or more target hosts
• Transfers files from multiple hosts to a single target host, and stores the files on a
local disk or locally attached storage device.
• Backs up data from remote hosts to a central host with locally-attached storage.
• Restores data from a central storage location to the remote hosts from which the data
was originally retrieved.
