REPLICATE BACKUP DATA OFFSITE FOR DISASTER RECOVERY [OPTIONAL]
To offer additional protection against disaster, ReadydATA offers the ability to replicate ReadyRECOVER backups offsite to a
secondary ReadydATA system.
One of the largest deployment considerations when setting up offsite data replication is the ongoing wAN bandwidth
requirement. The best way to deliver fast and effective offsite replication is to reduce the amount of data being replicated.
Combining ReadyRECOVER block-level change tracking with ReadydATA replication will maximize wAN bandwidth efficiency
when replicating backups to an offsite location. much like the backup process itself, ongoing replication will only ever need to
send incremental block-level changes after the first successful full replication cycle (forever).

To configure replication of a Backup set to a secondary location, you will need to have deployed a secondary system in the desired
location, enabled replication services on that system, and copied the replication certificate key from the secondary system to the
primary system. The certificate key can be found in the ReadydATA administration console (Replicate Tab > Certificates).
