SUMMARY
Steps to setup a Windows Replica on the Unitrends appliance
ISSUE
Create a stand-by VM replica of your Windows server using Windows replicas.
RESOLUTION
TASKS
1) Navigate to Recover > Replicas, choose Create Replicas > Windows, and select the server you wish to setup as a replica, then click Next.
2) Select the "Type" of replica (where you wish to host the replica), and choose the number of processor cores and amount of memory you wish to configure for this replica; please note that resources on the Unitrends appliance cannot be over-provisioned, and at least 2 CPU and 4 GB of RAM need to be retained for the appliance to function, otherwise replicas will become halted. Once done, click Save
NOTES
Note: You can check how many resources your appliance has by clicking on the (?) button and then "About"
Note: Replicas will begin in the "new" mode, will move to "restore" mode, during which time you can check the progress of the restore under Jobs > Active Jobs, and then remain in idle mode until new backups need to be restored into the replica or you click Go Live, Audit, or Tear Down.
