Multi-Point Replication

If you have a CDP Enterprise Server installed and are regularly processing the replication of sensitive and important data, your server deployment may function according to the following model:

However, with such a server deployment model, the CDP Server itself could potentially crash due to hardware failure, virus attack, etc. To be prepared for such a scenario, you can run another CDP Server enabling you to protect the machine with your primary CDP Server installed. The function that allows you to do this is called "Multi-Point Replication" and is built into your CDP Enterprise Server. Once you install an Agent on your primary CDP Enterprise Server machine, it can be replicated by a secondary CDP Enterprise Server. You can replicate a running CDP Server with open Disk Safes. Multi-Point Replication enables you to make a second copy of the selected Disk Safes.

Features

• Onsite/offsite backups
• Redundant onsite backups
• Second copy of selected Disk Safe(s)
• Agent is not impacted by the redundant backup
• Minimal impact on Disk I/O and bandwidth using CDP process to replicate changes from primary backup to secondary backup
• CDP can be safely replicated by CDP even when Disk Safes are open
• No interruption to the CDP Server during the redundant replication

Limitations

• If the primary Disk Safe fails, the redundant Disk Safe must first be restored from the redundant (offsite) location before restoring an Agent or its files.
• Primary Disk Safes must be stored on a supported storage format for CDP replication:

Windows

Linux
