Seed drive for new base

We have a large server that is all of the sudden failing to send his replication data across the wire. I have a case open but support is not making any progress.

Is it possible to use a seed drive for replication clients even after the initial base? I thought I remember someone mentioning they used to do this on duplicate base images that were created prior to dedup cache being put in place

It's called the copy process. Go to the replication tab -> dropdown the outgoing replication to show the agents -> select the agent you want and choose copy. This initiates the seed process and takes you through the wizard to create the seed. Then on the target core you'll see that it has an outstanding seed drive. When the seed is finished and transferred to the target, import it and it will ingest all those recovery points in the seed.

Just a note.... I heard you only have 7 days to ingest the data or it will expire. Keep that in mind when shipping.

There is no coded expiration time on a seed. You can ingest it immediately after it is created or 2 years after you create it. Obviously the sooner you do it the better. A maximum of 7 days is simply a long time recommendation from the support team.
