Using Drobodr To Replicate Data - Drobo 5N2 User Manual

1.9.2 Using DroboDR to Replicate Data

DroboDR is the built-in data replication feature that allows you to easily copy your data from one
Drobo NAS device to another Drobo NAS device on the network. This is a data replication tool that
creates a complete image of your source files on the destination. After the initial data copy, DroboDR
simply updates the destination with only the changes from the source for fast, efficient data
replication. The primary use for DroboDR is to protect your data from disaster by ensuring that you
always have an up-to-date copy of your data in another location.
Note:
DroboDR feature is currently available only in Drobo 5N2 and Drobo B810n.
To take advantage of this feature, you need to:
Ensure you meet system requirements for DroboDR
Set up your Drobo device devices to use DroboDR
Once your Drobo device is set up for data replication on your network, you can use DroboDR to:
Schedule a synchronization to replicate data
Synchronize manually
Stop a synchronization in progress
View the Summary Log of synchronizations
Save a Detailed Log of synchronizations to view
You can also:
Disable DroboDR at the source
Disable DroboDR at the destination, or target
