Avamar replication duplicate backups on source AVE
Hi,
I'm actually working on replicating an AVE (ave01.example.com) on another AVE (ave02.example.com), not using root-to-root replication but root-to-folder replication.
I'm using the following command in AVE01 to replicate its content
replicate --dstaddr=ave02.example.com --dstid=repluser --dstpassword=****** --fullcopy --srcpath=/ --dstpath=/Replication/ave01/ --hfsaddr=ave01.example.com --dpnname=ave01.example.com
When I launch the command, all the data from ave01 are well copied to ave02 but any backup I have in ave01 are duplicated in ave01 as shown by the API.
Considering a backup with id
0x1d31a5c91089z86:40840c5705cf60697cfe9b3eb2ad4d179314fae6:3001:86c23b6b-f878-409a-a0cf-19b27cb36005
it generates another backup for the same client with id
0x1d31a5c91089z86:40840c5705cf60697cfe9b3eb2ad4d179314fae6:3001::86c23b6b-f878-409a-a0cf-19b27cb36005
The only difference between the 2 ids is the colon wich is doubled just after the plugin id (here 3001).
I can't figure out why this backup is generated and what is wrong with my command resulting in this backup duplication.

When you say "the API", are you referring to the REST API?
The replicate command is part of the legacy cron-based replicator. I recommend you try using plugin-based replication and see if the behaviour persists.

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the answer.
Yes I'm referring to the REST API when talking about API =)
Actually I see replication more like a snapshot of my AVE.
Will plugin-based replication allow me to replicate users, datasets, policies, etc.?
Also during my searches on replication I saw the mccli replicate command, but it didn't allowed me to specify source & destination folders. Same goes when using REST API replication policy, maybe I'm missing something there ?

Hi Ian,
I've tried using plugin-based replication.
I'm creating dataset, policy, schedule, etc. using REST API.
I call [POST] https://api-url.com/policy/REPLICATION_POLICY_ID/action/replicate
It always generates errors, but the second call creates every entity on destination server each time.
But now I only got a question, how can I restore all these entities back on my source server ?
I don't see on MCCLI any command which can make this.
