Perform the steps above for all PHD VBAs involved in the replication process (the PHD VBA that owns the backup data store and any PHD VBAs that will be replicating from that backup data store. If PHD VBAs do not share the same encryption type and passphrase, you will encounter an error, BDS validation failed. Mount failure.</p> </article> </main>
