6. Working with replication
Before you start configuring replication, make sure that you upgraded the BackupAgent Platform
server to 4.0 or higher, and installed at least one Replication Client and Replication Server
component. You can always install extra Replication Clients and Replication Servers later.
See the chapter about Installation for more information on how to decide where to install
Replication Client and Server components.
6.1 Configure replication destinations
Before you can configure replications tasks you need to review the configuration of the
replication destinations. You have to configure a replication destination for every Replication
Server component that is installed.
You can review and configure the replication destinations from the Replication destinations tab.
Select ‘Replication Settings’ from the ‘Server’ menu in the server. And then select the ‘Replication
destinations’ tab.
When a Replication Server component is installed, an entry for it will automatically be created in
the Replication Destination tab. It is configured by default with settings that were provided during
the installation of the Replication Server component. In most cases you don’t have to change
anything here.
The replication destination settings are:
 Destination name: this is a symbolic name of the replication destination. By default it is the
computer name of the machine on which the Replication Server is installed.
 Destination path: this is the root path on the Replication Server machine to which data will
be replicated. All storage locations that are replicated to this destination will appear under
this root path. The structure is <destination path>\<storage location name>\account1…n.
