Replicate Only Certain Datasets

I have found this option in the Avamar Enterprise Manager.

Click Replicator ~ Setup

Then Choose Replicator Type: Selective. Then choose which options you want to replicate.

I'm not sure if this actually works or what this option does, but would like some clarification on this option.

This is a good question.

I believe that this is not possible.

I checked on the Command Guide the option Replicate, and not mention anything about choosing a Client Dataset.

(see Admin Guide - pg: 358)

This option not support Brownsing of the Dataset.

Selective Dataset cannot be replicated its not supported.

Full replication or Selective Client replication is supported

Selective Client replication IS supported?

Is that what the screen shot above is referring to?  Selective clients? So if I want to replicate only certain clients, then I would choose "Selective" from the options above?

Hi,

I know for a fact that you can include / exclude clients or entire domains from being replicated.

You just need to add "exclude" or "include" as the need may be in the repl_cron.cfg file.

You can only filter backups by retention. On repl_cron are a parameter called --retention-type. If you don't want to replicate some backup you must to run it on demand and set this parameter like this:  --retention-type=daily,weekly,monthly,yearly. When you run a backup on demand flag retention is set on 'N' and If is the only way to filter a backup for replication.

You cannot narrow replication down to specific savesets.

You can limit replication to a domain or sub domain.

You would have to place your 6 datasets that you want replicated on their own separate server, and then put that server in its own sub-domain.

Put the datasets that you do not want replicated in the Test domain.

So you could replicate the SQL, and the SQL/Production domains, but not SQL/Test.

/SQL

/SQL/Production

/SQL/Test
