The Active Replication Operations pane contains details of each backup that is currently being replicated to the target.
The information is arranged in the following way:
• Client folder - Replicating backups are grouped by client. Client folders display first in the hierarchy and are named in the following format:
SourceSystem : SourceClient : BackupInstance -> TargetSystem. For a description of source, client, instance, and target, see To view active replication details . Click the arrow to the left of the folder to expand or collapse the view.
• Replicating backups - Beneath the Client folder, replicating backups for this client display with the most recently created jobs higher in the list.
The Active Replication Operations pane contains the following information for each active operation:
• ID – ID of the source backup.
• Status – Icon indicating that the backup is being replicated to the target.
• Type – The type of backup being replicated. This includes the standard backup types, e.g., master, differential, bare metal, SQL full, etc. In addition, you may see a backup type called System Metadata, which is a small backup of internal state information that is periodically transmitted from the source system to the target. This state is preserved to be used during a system restore, if ever needed.
• Phase – Processing phase, indicating that the backup is being replicated to the target. Each replication job goes through four phases: prepare, replicate, processing and wait/target processing. For details, see KB 955.
• Phase Start Date/Time – The time at which replication began.
• Progress – The completion percentage for this operation. In progress displays if a percentage cannot be calculated.
• Elapsed – The elapsed time for this operation.
• Estimated Phase Completion – The estimated date and time replication should complete, based on the current transfer rate. It is important to note that this projection is based on speeds seen at that time interval. During the day, if throttling is being used to limit the network bandwidth used for replication, projected completion times may be displayed that are later than anticipated. If the percentage of bandwidth allowed is higher, the projected completion time will be more accurate for an environment.
Note that there are some instances in which the final size cannot be determined up front, so the percent complete cannot be derived. In this case, in progress displays.
Items displayed are filtered by your selection in the Navigation pane:
• Select the replication target (brown vault icon) to see replicating backups for all source systems.
• Select the source system (blue server icon) to see replicating backups for the selected system only.
