Avamar One-To-Many Replication Setup
Is it possible to set up a secondary replication target for a server from the Admin Console or Enterprise manager?
From what I can tell the only way to set it up is via creating a repl_custom.cfg file under /usr/local/avamar/etc/
Thanks!

There are also no known bugs in the next version
You would have to set up a second replication job via a second cfg file to replicate to two different targets. I'd recommend filing an RPQ for this and / or working with support to make sure it's being implemented according to current best practice. A configuration with multiple replication jobs may break during upgrades so it needs extra attention at upgrade time which is why I recommend an RPQ.
This replication would have to be monitored from the command line since the GUI wouldn't be aware of it.

Not possible from the GUI for the moment. There are changes coming to replication in the next version of Avamar that may make this easier.

All the cool features are still "in the next version"
Am I on the right track with setting things up via cfg file? The only reference I can find is an old white paper from 2011 (specific section starts on the bottom of page 19): http://www.emc.com/collateral/software/white-papers/h8245-avamar-replication-wp.pdf
Would monitoring for this replication have to be monitored via command line as well?
Thanks
