Backup & Recovery: Creating a Replication Task
To create a replication task, navigate to Backup & Recovery and click on the Add Replication Task button. This launches the Backup Task Wizard, which consists of the following steps:
Step 1: Source Configuration
- Resource Path: Browse and select the ZVOLs or datasets to be backed up. Confirm your selection by clicking Apply.
- Retention Interval Plan: Specify how often snapshots should be taken and how long they should be retained.
Step 2: Destination Configuration
- If the Toggle Bar is disabled, no destination will be configured. Enable the toggle bar to activate Destination 1.
- The destination server can be either:
- Local Server: The same machine as the source.
- Remote Server: A different server. To configure a remote server:
- Select Add New Server.
- Provide the following details:
- IP Address/Domain
- Port (default: 40000)
- Password
- Description (optional)
- After adding the server, select the appropriate Resource Path.
Note: The resource path cannot have iSCSI targets attached (for ZVOLs) or shared datasets.
- Specify the Retention Interval Plan for the destination.
- To configure additional destinations, click Add Another Destination.
For detailed explanations of these options, refer to the article On-_and_Off-site_Data_Protection.
Step 3: vCenter/vSphere Server Integration
- Add a vCenter/vSphere server to enable consistent snapshots.
For detailed instructions, refer to the article On-_and_Off-site_Data_Protection.
Step 4: Task Properties
- Task Description: Create a custom description for the task.
- Enable MBuffer: Buffer the data stream on the source and destination to prevent buffer underruns. Configure:
- Buffer Size
- Rate Limit
- Send Compressed Data: Enable this option to transfer compressed data directly without decompression, which speeds up the process and reduces network bandwidth usage.
Step 5: Summary
- Review a summary of the configured settings.
- Click Add to finalize the task.
