How To
Summary
The vSnap servers in an IBM Spectrum Protect™ Plus environment provide disk storage for protecting data through backup and replication processes. You can repair and replace a failed vSnap server that is configured in your IBM Spectrum Protect Plus environment to act as the target for backup and replication services. The target vSnap server must be repaired so that backup and replication services can resume.

About this task
To determine which type of repair process is applicable to your vSnap server, see technote 1103847.
Procedure
Results
If a replication job is attempted on the new target vSnap server, a message is displayed as follows:
CTGGA0289 - Skipping volume <volume_id> because there are no new snapshots since last backup
After a new backup job is run on the source vSnap server, the next scheduled replication job replicates the recovery points that are created by the backup job. At this point, if you create a restore job, only the most recent recovery point will be available in the replication repository. If the target vSnap server was also acting as a copy source to object or archive storage, the replication job must first run on the target vSnap server before any additional copy operations can complete successfully. The first copy of data to object storage will be a full copy.
