General Settings for Remote Replication Schedules.

Replication schedules are used to replicate Network Shares and Storage Volumes to another storage appliance automatically on a schedule.There are two types of schedules, interval based schedules and day/time schedules. Interval based schedules replicate every N many minutes, where N is typically between 15 minutes and an hour. Day/time schedules replicate on specific days at specific times.

Navigation: Remote Replication --> Volume & Share Replication Schedules --> Replication Schedule --> Create (toolbar)

Storage System Links

Note that before you can setup a schedule and replicate data (volumes or shares) you must first setup a storage system link between the two
appliances you'll be using for replication. You can setup as many storage system links as you want and these links are setup to do a security
key exchange between the boxes for the purposes of data transfer and the links also hold the information on which
IP addresses (network interfaces) will be used for replication of data.

Schedule Interval

This menu allows you to designate/schedule the times of when replications will occur.

Select Volumes & Shares

Here you can choose which volumes and shares you want the replication schedule to be applied to.

Snapshot Settings

The snapshot rules allow you to set the long-term retention of snapshots. In the case that an issue arises, you can revert later to one of these snapshots since they're kept long-term.

Automatic Activation

Checkpoints for the Replication Schedule may be activated automatically when the selected Cluster VIF is moved to the DR site. All checkpoints are activated and Network Share checkpoints will have local Network Share aliases auto-created if not already present.
