requirements
Each Storage Mirroring Replicate server must meet minimum requirements. Additionally,
the machine where you will be running the Storage Mirroring Replicate console must
also meet some basic requirements.
● Source server—This is the server that contains the data you will be protecting.
Verify your server meets the source server requirements.
● Repository server—This is the server that will be protecting your source server(s).
Verify your server meets the repository server requirements.
● TimeData —The TimeData feature can be run on your repository server and
has additional minimum requirements for the repository server. TimeData
records every change made to the source image(s) on the repository server
allowing you to recover from any point within theTimeData window. Verify
your server meets the repository server and TimeData requirements.
● OntrackPowerControls—The Ontrack PowerControls feature can be run
on your repository server and has additional minimum requirements for the
repository server. Ontrack PowerControls allows you to recover Microsoft
Exchange messages, folders, attachments, mailboxes, and so on to an
Exchange server or a .pstfile. Verify your server meets the repository server
and Ontrack PowerControls requirements.
● Recovery server—This is the server that will become your new source when you
are recovering an entire server. This server can be an existing physical or virtual
machine or Storage Mirroring Replicate can provision (automatically create) a
virtual machine for you during the recovery process. Verify your server meets the
recovery server requirements.
● Cargo —Cargo can be run on your source(s) and repository server. Cargo
archives old files on the source to the repository server, thus reducing the amount
of disk space used on the source. Verify your servers meets the source server,
repository server, and Cargo requirements.
● Console—The Storage Mirroring Replicate console is used to manage your
Storage Mirroring Replicate servers. Verify the machine where you are running the
console meets the console requirements.
In addition to the server and feature requirements, review the Replication capabilities to
understand the type of data that Storage Mirroring Replicate protects.
