What backup personalities can my backup system use to protect my data? - Connect IT Community | Kaseya
<main> <article class="userContent"> <h2 data-id="summary"><strong>SUMMARY</strong></h2> <p>What backup personalities/identities can my backup system use to protect my data</p> <h2 data-id="issue"><strong>ISSUE</strong></h2> <p>There are three different personalities that can be used in data protection. The first is a “<b>Backup System</b>”, which simply does backups. Once backups are done, the data can be pushed to another appliance that has the “<b>Replication Target</b>” personality, so that in the case that the primary <b>Backup System</b> has been lost, the <b>Replication Target</b> can be used in disaster recovery to repopulate the environment and the lost backup system. It is also possible to have two units that can perform backups <i>and</i> function as the replication targets for each other. This is called “<b>Cross-Replication</b>”. </p> <p>Most units can function in all three personalities, but there are a few that are limited:</p> <p><u>Unitrends Enterprise Backup (UEB)</u></p> <p> Backup System (OR)</p> <p> Replication Target</p> <p><u>Recovery-172</u></p> <p> Backup System</p> <p><u>Recovery-212</u></p> <p> Backup System (OR)</p> <p> Replication Target</p> <p><u>All Recovery-Series models other than -172 and -212</u></p> <p> Backup system (OR)</p> <p> Replication target (OR)</p> <p> Backup System & Replication Target (Cross-Replication)</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </article> </main>
