Tools > Replication/Deduplication Overview

Data replication is the process of sending duplicate data from a source server to a target destination. Replication is often performed in conjunction with data deduplication technology, which greatly reduce the amount of storage space consumed and makes data transmission processes such as replication much more efficient. Used in conjunction, deduplicated data (known as blocks) is replicated from a source server to a target destination.

The Tools > Replication menu options enable you to perform the following tasks related to data replication:

Menu Option	Description
Tools > Replication/Deduplication > Administration	View current progress for data replication, data deduplication, and truncation operations. Also pause or resume replication, deduplication and truncation.
Tools > Replication/Deduplication > Replication Targets	Add replication hosts and mount points to your replication targets, and edit properties for existing hosts and mount points. Also delete unwanted replication targets.
Tools > Replication/Deduplication > Replication Bandwidth	Configure multilinks and bandwidth limits for replication.
