Editing a Replication Schedule

You can edit a replication schedule to change the destination resource group or cloud service, Storage account, Virtual network configuration, VM size or timing for replication.

Before You Begin

Enable editing for replication schedules.

Procedure

1. Right-click the backup set, and then select View > Schedules.

   For replication schedules, the Type is Site Replication.

2. Right-click the replication schedule, and then select Edit.

   To delete a schedule, right-click the schedule, select Delete, and then confirm the deletion.

3. On the Schedule Pattern tab, make changes as needed to the replication schedule.

4. On the General tab, you can view configuration settings for the schedule.

   The table in the center of the tab shows information for each virtual machine, with virtual disks shown under each VM.

   You can make changes to the following options:

   • To remove a virtual machine from a schedule that contains multiple VMs, select the virtual machine, and then click Remove VMs. After you remove a virtual machine from the schedule, it does not appear on the Replication Monitor.

     If a schedule includes only one virtual machine, then you can delete the schedule to remove the VM from replication operations.

   • To add a virtual machine, click Add, and then provide configuration settings for the VM.

   • To update disk information for the source VM, click Refresh Disks.

   • Proxy Client

   • Resource Group or Cloud Service

   • Storage Account

   • VM Size

   • Operating System

   • Network Interface

   • Create Public IP

5. To replicate changes from an auxiliary copy or backup copy:

   1. Click Advanced.

      The Advanced Live Sync Options dialog box appears.

   2. On the Copy Precedence tab, select Restore from copy precedence, and then enter the number of the storage copy properties for the auxiliary copy or the backup copy.

   When you configure replication to use an auxiliary copy or a backup copy, the replication operation reads data from the copy instead of reading from the primary backup.

Unless you have created the nAllowLiveSyncEditConfig additional setting, you cannot change any other values for the schedule. To specify other replication options, you can also configure a new schedule.
