StoreGrid supports replicating backup server data to a replication server for redundancy. If the backup server crashes, it can be restored from the replicated data on the replication server. Replication is configured through the Replication Management page in the StoreGrid web console, where replication from the primary backup server to the secondary replication server is enabled, scheduled, and has CPU utilization set. In a disaster scenario, the backup server can be restored by recovering its data and configurations from the replication server.
