You can perform incremental replication from the backup of a file system client to a destination client computer. A replication operation replicates all the data that was backed up from the source computer to the destination computer as soon as the backup operation completes.
Benefits of the Replication Feature for Disaster Recovery
You can use replication to create and maintain warm recovery sites for computers or file servers. Replication offers the following benefits for disaster recovery:
-
The impact on production servers is minimized because the replication process uses backup data. The backup operation collects file system data in a single pass, and the replication operation runs on restore infrastructure.
-
Replication is hardware- and software-agnostic because the underlying storage that is being replicated and the operating system of the destination computer can be same or different from the source computer.
-
You can restore data at any specific point-in-time.
-
The replication operation runs immediately after a backup operation so that the source computer and the destination computers are always in sync.
