Consuming the seed drive on a target core

This procedure is only necessary if you created a seed drive while Configuring Replication For A Self-Managed Core.

To consume the seed drive on a target core:

If the seed drive was saved to a portable storage device such as a USB drive, connect the drive to the target core.
From the Core Console on the target core, select the Replication tab.
Under Incoming Replication, select the correct source core by using the drop-down menu, and then click Consume. The Consume window appears.
For Location type, select one of the following options from the drop-down list:
- Local
- Network
- Cloud

Enter the following information as needed:

Text Box	Description
Location	Enter a path to where the seed drive is located, such as a USB drive or a network share (for example, D:\).
User name	Enter the user name for the shared drive or folder. User name is required only for a network path.
Password	Enter the password for the shared drive or folder. Password is required only for a network path.
Account	Select an account from the drop-down list. To select a cloud account, you must first have added it in the Core Console.
Container	Select a container associated with your account from the drop-down menu.
Folder Name	Enter the name of the folder in which the archived data is saved; for example, -Archive-[DATE CREATED]- [TIME CREATED]

Click Check File. After the Core checks the file, it automatically populates the Date Range with the dates of the oldest and newest recovery points contained in the seed drive. It also imports any comments entered in Configuring Replication For A Self-Managed Core.
Under Agent Names on the Consume window, select the machines for which you want to consume data, and then click Consume.
- NOTE: To monitor the data consumption progress, select the Events tab.
