Hi,
I have a Hyper-V server with multiple VM's replicating over VPN to a replica Hyper-V server. I have it setup to replicate every 5 minutes. All is well. One of the VM's on my Hyper-V server is a backup server. I have backup software that I install on a client's server or workstation that backs up locally and then uploads the backup over the internet to my backup server [I can seed the software's initial backup manually much like the initial replication of the Hyper-V replica].
So when I sign up a new client and setup the backup, I could have upwards of 60GB or so of data that gets written to the backup server VM. When I do this it can take a week for the replication to finish when there has been 60GB of data added to the VM. Is there a way to pause replication, and manualy export a replication to an external HD, then import the replacation to the replication server, then resume replication? like when we do the first replication manually to a remote server?
Or am I going to have to remove replication [on both servers], delete the replica VM, then enable replication again and do a manual initial replication?
Thanks for any input!!
