How to Replicate Deduplication Devices with CA ARCserve Replication

Deduplication devices can store data from numerous data sources, making protection of these devices especially critical. You can use CA ARCserve Replication to replicate deduplication device data, adding another layer of protection to your CA ARCserve Backup environment.

Replicating deduplication devices using CA ARCserve Replication requires you to install the CA ARCserve Replication Engine on both the Master and Replica servers. See the CA ARCserve Replication Installation Guide for more information.

• The local server hosting the deduplication device you wish to replicate should be designated as the Master server.
• The server running Windows Server 2003 or later should be designated as the Replica server.

Note: After you install the CA ARCserve Replication Engine on both the Master and Replica servers, you must create and configure a CA ARCserve Replication scenario for the deduplication device that you wish to protect. If a deduplication device fails, you can restore data using the VSS snapshot generated by CA ARCserve Replication.
