Seed drive without replication

Currently using AA6/RR We're having some major issues getting a base image to apply from a couple of remote sites that are connected over a very low bandwidth pipe.

The base image takes several days just to finish, but hasn't due to server restarts or other network-related issues.  However, I'm being told by our vendor support team that we can use a USB drive to get a seed created from the target machine to copy onto the single core that we have.  All of my research shows that seeding can only take place via replication, and that replication must involve 2 or more cores, thus negating the possibility for our situation, as we only have one single core backup machine.

Am I reading the information wrong, as the only videos/info I've seen for seeding explicitly talks about replication, via source and target cores.  If I'm wrong, and it's possible, can somebody point me to the correct instructions on how to to so?  Remember, we only have one (1) Dell Rapid Recovery unit.

  • We had a similar issue with a client and set up a second core backup at separate location that can be used as extra security and as a DR plan. This would add expense but make it much easy.
