VIPERVAULT APPASSURE REPLICATION SETUP GUIDE
Solution Overview
Thank you for choosing the ViperVault AppAssure cloud replication and disaster recovery service. Using this service you can replicate your AppAssure V5 data and snapshots to the ViperVault enterprise storage cloud, effortlessly scaling from Gigabytes, to Terabytes to Petabytes! In addition to providing high performing AppAssure V5 CORE servers, you also have access to the ViperVault Continuity Cloud** that provides fast off‐site virtualisation and recovery of your replicated servers and networks. ** Access / provisioning of access to the Continuity Cloud is only available on request ‐ unless you have chosen to purchase a dedicated Continuity Cloud node. See later in this document for more details.CONTACT Note that replication will proceed in parallel for many agents at the same time. The default level of concurrency is normally suitable for most customers and shouldn’t need to be changed. However, it can be customised by clicks through Actions, Settings menu: Note that if you increase the max concurrent replication jobs, you may wish to decrease the number of parallel streams. For example, you may wish to use combinations of 2 and 4, or 4 and 2, etc. These are advanced settings and should only be changed if necessary. Having replication proceed in parallel to the cloud allows better utilisation of WAN bandwidth. Once you have completed the above steps, your Reseller will manually “approve” the replication and it will commence immediately OR if you have specified you are sending a Seed Drive, replication will commence once the Seed has been consumed. Setup complete. You are now replicating to the service!
Start the ViperVault Online Backup Manager Client. Click the My Account button, and configure the web portal account and password: Note that you do not need to create an encryption pass phrase (unless you also plan to use actual file‐level backup features of the account instead of just the AppAssure CORE integration features). On the Schedule page, configure it to backup 24 times per day:
This will cause the CORE information to be updated every hour in the web portal. We do not recommend or support updating the information more frequently than every hour.
If you have installed the AppAssure V5 CORE in the default location, no further configuration is required. Otherwise, you need to use the Options page, Backup tab to configure the location of the CORE program:
