Configuring a remote source of the CDC Replication Engine for Microsoft SQL Server

You have the option of installing CDC Replication on a system that is remote from the source database. Only transaction log backups are replicated when deploying remotely from the source database.

To enable CDC Replication to read the source database transaction logs, you must make the transaction log backups available to CDC Replication. The transaction log backups can either be shared with the CDC Replication system or copied to the system.
