Replication

The Replication view enables to you to manage a replicated target. The view displays
the replicated target and the storage used for the replica, referred to as a replica
destination.
The date and times shown below the target and the destination show when a recovery
point was last made. When the replicated disk is selected, two tasks are shown in the
SnapSAN Target Tasks list:
• Add Replica Appliance
Allows you to specify an additional location for the replicated data. Use this to
create multiple replicas of the same data and increase redundancy.
• Create Recovery Point
Enables you to add a new recovery point.
The Creating Recovery Point dialog box appears with a bar showing the progress
of the operation, which may take some time with a large target. When the
recovery point has been created, it will be listed in the Properties view of the
Storage Replica. (To get to this view, select the replica destination in the view
and then Manage Replica Destination from the Replica Tasks list. Click the
arrow button to return to this Replication view.)
When a replica destination in selected, the SnapSAN Target Tasks list changes to
three different tasks:
• Break Replica Appliance
Select this task to stop the selected replica from being updated. The replica can
be used as before—any recovery points associated with it can be mapped and it
remains accessible from the SnapSAN S2000 Replicas view of PCs and Servers if
it has a Windows letter associated with it, showing that it has been mounted as
a Windows drive (see
