Replication
You need at least two (2) DS-Systems for this option to work. You can add as many DS-Systems as you want to a DS-System Replication Group, and each DS-System will have a copy of the shared DS-Client data.
Replicated data is stored using the same numerical storage path (\\account#\dsclient#\backup set #\ ) on each DS-System in the Replication Group. However, each DS-System retains its own billing settings, and storage location management.
Replication offers many benefits:
A ready-to-use copy of DS-Client online backup data.
- In the event of loss or disruption at the primary DS-System, Enterprises / Service Providers have a running copy that their customers can immediately connect to and use. That copy is also used to repair any data loss on the original DS-System (once any hardware issues have been resolved).
Platform-independent replication.
