Manual replication of protected assets

You can perform replication of one more protected assets within a protection policy by using the Protect Now functionality in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI.

NOTE VMAX storage groups only support MTree replication, which is performed and scheduled from the DD system. Therefore, manual replication for assets in a VMAX storage group is not supported.

To perform manual replication:

  1. From the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select Protection > Protection Policies
  2. Select the protection policy that contains the assets that you want to replicate, and click Protect Now.

    The Protect Now wizard appears.

    NOTE The protection policy must be enabled, its purpose must not be Exclusion, and the policy must already be configured with a replication stage.
  3. On the Assets Selection page, select whether you want to replicate all assets or choose individual assets that are defined in the protection policy, and then click Next.
  4. If you selected the option to choose individual assets for manual replication instead of all assets, the Assets page appears with the individual assets available for selection. Select the assets that you want to include in the manual replication, and then click Next to display the Configuration page.

    If you selected to replicate all assets, the Configuration page appears.

  5. On the Configuration page, select Replicate now, and then select from the available replication stages.
    NOTE Only replication stages for the primary backup are available for selection.
  6. Edit the retention period if you want to change the default settings, and then click Next.

    The default settings are inherited from the primary backup stage of the parent protection policy.

  7. On the Summary page, review the settings and then click Protect Now. A notification appears indicating whether the request was processed successfully.
