To create a backup replication plan

  1. Click Plans > Backup replication.

  2. Click Create plan.

    The template for new protection plan opens.

  3. To modify the plan name, click the default name.

  4. Click Agent, and then select the agent that will perform the replication.

    You can select any agent that has access to the source and target backup locations.

  5. Click Items to replicate, and then select the backups that this plan will replicate.

    You can switch between selecting backups and selecting entire locations by using the Locations / Backups switch in the top-right corner.

    If the selected backups are encrypted, all of them must use the same encryption password. For backups that use different encryption passwords, create separate plans.

  6. Click Destination, and then specify the target location.

  7. In How to replicate, select which backups to replicate. You can select one of the following:

    • All backups (default)
    • Only full backups
    • Only the last backup

  8. Click Schedule, and then change the schedule.

  9. Click Retention rules, and then specify the retention rules for the target location, as described in Retention rules.

  10. If the backups selected in Items to replicate are encrypted, enable the Backup password switch, and then provide the encryption password. Otherwise, skip this step.

  11. To modify the plan options, click the gear icon.

  12. Click Create.
