per hour to once per month, based on how you schedule replication. This configuration
collects changes that occur over the selected time period and replicates them in line with
the replication schedule.
• Continuous replication
This type of replication is driven by activity at the source system. Data is replicated to the
destination device constantly. Whenever new blocks are written on the source system,
they are immediately sent to the destination system. In the event of a disaster the most
current data possible is in a secondary location. For optimum protection, use constant
replication rather than periodic replication.
You can configure replication only per individual share or LUN, that is, you cannot configure
replication at the system level. You select a share or LUN as the source of the replication,
and a volume on the remote system as the destination for the replication.
The replication process leverages the information that is contained in special hidden
snapshots to minimize the time it takes to determine what block-based data needs to be
moved between the systems. These hidden snapshots are not the same as the regular
snapshots that you create manually or set up to be created automatically.
Replication of an incomplete hidden snapshot resumes from the point where it failed, that is,
if a 200-MB snapshot fails to replicate at 90 percent completion, replication resumes at
90 percent completion to replicate the remaining 20 MB.
If you do not use an explicit destination IP address, data that is replicated over the Internet is
automatically encrypted for increased safety.
The replication status is reported at both the source and the destination systems in a
replication relationship, and includes the age of the snapshot that is transferred and the size
of the data that is transferred. For example, if a 50-MB snapshot was created 20 seconds
before being transferred to a remote system as part of replication, the status that is reported
is Target is 50 MB / 20 seconds behind source, or a similar status message.

Access ReadyDATA Replicate and Register Systems

NETGEAR ReadyDATA Replicate is an online application that provides a simplified, reliable
replication solution to protect business data against downtime and disasters.
ReadyDATA Replicate allows data from one ReadyDATA 5200 to be replicated and restored
to and from another ReadyDATA 5200. Using a centralized web portal, you create, manage,
and monitor replication and restore tasks that operate across ReadyDATA 5200 systems
from multiple locations.
The ReadyDATA 5200 provides replication functionality, that is, you do not need to install
anything on the ReadyDATA 5200 for replication to function. However, you do need to create
a ReadyDATA remote ID before you can access ReadyDATA Replicate.
