Next steps
On the remote system, enable the same asset sources that are enabled on this system. Enable an asset source provides more information. Enabling an asset source on the remote system makes replicated backups of that type visible and accessible.
On the remote system, open the recovery view and verify that backups are visible and accessible. It is recommended that you perform a test restore.
Metadata synchronizes between source and destination systems every three hours. If backups are not visible, allow sufficient time for the first synchronization before troubleshooting.
