Replication and replica

[karlochacon]

hi

I replicated some VMs since they were pretty big I replciated them first locally and after that move the ESXi Server to the recocovery site.
so my first real replication job across sites I enable Low connection Bandwith (enable replica seeding)

OK my question is should I leave this option enable forever every time I run this replication job, let's say Saturdays midnight? or I have to disable it


thanks a lot

Hi Carlos,

Yes, once you have run at least one successful incremental job pass, you can disable this checkbox. This shouldn't have any impact on your replication job.

Thanks!

so the job will automatically detect the replica is there without selecting the option

Yes, if you've already performed replica mapping, then the subsequent replication job runs will use this to detect the target VM.

so I am confused is it needed or not to leave "Low connection Bandwith (enable replica seeding)" forever in the job?

As Vitaliy had already mentioned, you can disable the check box after the first successful job run. No need to keep it enabled after you've initially mapped the job to the existing replica.
