Replication Seed from Backup

[Shaft]

I need to create a replication job from PROD to DR over the WAN. This is a large file server and was taking days to finish the initial seed and had to be stopped because this interfered with the original backup. I read in a KB that I could do Replication seeding from a VM backup. http://helpcenter.veeam.com/backup/70/h ... eding.html.

When I run the backup copy it sits at waiting for new restore points and has a status of 0%.

Did I misunderstand this article where you can not create a seed from a backup so it does not interfere with the backups?

Thanks.,

Hello Vince,

How did you configure the synchronization interval? Have you tried forcing the initial sync for the backup copy job?

Thank you!

I'm wondering whether the "source" and "target" for backup copy job are selected correctly. Can you double-check it, as well?

In other words, make sure that the given backup job is specified as a "source" for backup copy job and remote repository as its "target". There is built-in mechanism preventing backup copy job from looking restore points in the repository that is specified as backup copy job target - in this case, the backup copy job will sit in the idle state forever.

Thanks.
