Managing replication

Use replication to recover data at a disaster recovery site and to maintain the same level of files on the source and target servers. You can manage replication at the node level. You can also protect data at the storage-pool level.

Replication compatibility
Before you set up replication operations with IBM Spectrum Protect, you must ensure that the source and target replication servers are compatible for replication.
Enabling node replication
You can enable node replication to protect your data.
Protecting data in directory-container storage pools
Protect data in directory-container storage pools to reduce node replication time and to enable repair of data in directory-container storage pools.
Modifying replication settings
Modify replication settings in the Operations Center. Change settings such as the number of replication sessions, replication rules, the data that you want to replicate, the replication schedule, and the replication workload.
Setting different retention policies for the source server and target server
You can set policies on the target replication server that manage the replicated client-node data differently than on the source server. For example, you can maintain a different number of versions of files on the source and the target servers.
