Replication with Rapid Recovery
This section provides conceptual and procedural information to help you understand and configure replication in
Rapid Recovery.
Replication is the process of copying recovery points from one Rapid Recovery Core and transmitting them
to another Rapid Recovery Core for disaster recovery purposes. The process requires a paired source-target
relationship between two or more Cores.
The source Core copies the recovery points of selected protected machines, and then asynchronously and
continually transmits that snapshot data to the target Core.
Unless you change the default behavior by setting a replication schedule, the Core starts a replication job
immediately after completion of every backup snapshot, checksum check, attachability check, and the nightly
jobs. For more information, see
.
For optimum data security, administrators usually use a target Core at a remote disaster recovery site. You can
configure outbound replication to a company-owned data center or remote disaster recovery site (that is, a “self-
managed” target Core). Or, you can configure outbound replication to a third-party managed service provider
(MSP) or cloud provider that hosts off-site backup and disaster recovery services. When replicating to a third-
party target Core, you can use built-in work flows that let you request connections and receive automatic feedback
notifications.
Replication is managed on a per-protected-machine basis. Any machine (or all machines) protected or replicated
on a source Core can be configured to replicate to a target Core.
Possible scenarios for replication include:
•
Replication to a local location. The target Core is located in a local data center or on-site location, and replication is
maintained at all times. In this configuration, the loss of the Core would not prevent a recovery.
•
Replication to an off-site location. The target Core is located at an off-site disaster recovery facility for recovery in the
event of a loss.
•
Mutual replication. Two data centers in two different locations each contain a Core and are protecting machines and
serving as the off-site disaster recovery backup for each other. In this scenario, each Core replicates the protected
machines to the Core that is located in the other data center.
•
Hosted and cloud replication. Rapid Recovery MSP partners maintain multiple target Cores in a data center or a public
cloud. On each of these Cores, the MSP partner lets one or more of their customers replicate recovery points from a
source Core on the customer’s site to the MSP’s target Core for a fee.
NOTE:
In this scenario, customers only have access to their own data.
