Replicas History report
The Replicas History report provides information about the backups that have been applied to replicas. To generate the report, select one or more appliances and specify a date range.
Replicas are set up by using the Create Windows Replica or Create Replica VMs dialog. The appliance then creates the replica from the most recent backup of the Windows or VM asset, and automatically applies all subsequent backups.
The appliance creates the replica by running a create replica operation and applies each subsequent backup by running one of the following:
● A replica restore to apply a host-level backup to a VM replica.
● A virtual restore to apply a file-level backup to a Windows replica.
● A virtual restore to apply a SQL or Exchange application backup to a Windows replica.
Each of these operations display as a row in the Replicas report. Click on a row to view details about the operation. See Report details for descriptions of each column in the report.
