After you have registered at least two ReadyDATA systems for ReadyDATA Replicate, you can schedule the replication of a share or LUN from one ReadyDATA to another.

WARNING: If you disable replication on a registered ReadyDATA, the system is deregistered from ReadyDATA Replicate, and the replication job is deleted. Make sure that replication remains enabled on a registered ReadyDATA that is part of a replication job.

 

To use ReadyDATA Replicate to schedule continuous replication of share or LUN:

1. Go to https://readydata.netgear.com.

4. Configure the settings on the first screen as explained in the following table:

Item

Description

Name

Keep the default name for the replication configuration, or overwrite the default name with another name.

Replicate From

From the Replicate From drop-down list, select the ReadyDATA from which you want to replicate a share or LUN, that is, select the source system.


Then make the following selections:


1.Select the volume on which the share or LUN resides.

2.Double-click the volume.

3.Select the share or LUN.

Save To

From the Save To drop-down list, select the ReadyDATA to which you want to replicate a share or LUN, that is, select the destination system.


Then select the volume to which you want to replicate the share or LUN.


Note:
In the previous figure, the name of the volume to which the share or LUN is replicated is identical to the name of the volume from which the share or LUN is replicated. This is not a typical situation.

5. At the bottom right of the screen, click Next.

6. Configure the settings on the second screen as explained in the following table:

Item

Description

New data set name

Enter a name for the share or LUN on the destination system.

Advanced Settings for Data Transmission

Compression

Select the check box to enable data compression during the data transfer. Then configure the compression rate. By default, compression is disabled.

Note:
After the data has been transferred, the data is not stored compressed unless it was already compressed on the source share or LUN.

Compression Ratio

Select the compression rate by making a selection from the drop-down list. You can select from 1 through 10, and unlimited. For example, 5 indicates that data is compressed five times.

Encryption

Select the check box to enable encryption. By default, encryption is disabled.


Note:
NETGEAR recommends that you encrypt sensitive data.


Note:
If you do not use an explicit destination IP address, data that is replicated over the Internet is automatically encrypted for increased safety. When you select the Encryption check box, data that is replicated over the Internet is encrypted twice.

Deduplication

Select the check box to enable deduplication during the data transfer. Deduplication prevents transfer of redundant data and increases the speed of the data transfer.


Note:
After the data has been transferred, the data is not stored in a deduplicated format unless it was already deduplicated on the source share or LUN.

Explicit Destination IP Address

ReadyDATA Replicate automatically selects the physical Ethernet interfaces and VNICs for communication between the source and destination systems. If you want to use a specific interface on the destination system, you need to specify its IP address.


To specify a specific interface, select the check box to enable an explicit destination IP address. Then configure the IP address.


Note:
You need to set up port forwarding if the source and destination are behind a firewall.


Note:
If you use an explicit destination IP address, data that is replicated over the Internet is not automatically encrypted. You need to select the Encryption check box to enable encryption.

IP Address

Enter the IP address of the interface on the destination system. The address is automatically appended with port number 6819.

7. At the bottom right of the screen, click Next.

The third and final Continuous Replicate screen displays:
