Architecture
Replay 4 is a distributed client-server application for protecting and recovering Windows Application servers including Exchange, SQL, SharePoint, domain controllers, and BlackBerry enterprise servers. The Replay 4 product consists of 3 primary components:
- Replay Cores – Cores processes backups, validates application integrity, compresses and deduplicates snapshots and replicates them over the WAN to a remote disaster recovery site. Cores can be local to the server being protected or distributed throughout the network, enabling a flexible and scalable backup and disaster recovery configuration.
- Replay Agents – Agents is installed on each protected server or on Hyper-V hosts. It‘s responsible for capturing block-level changes on the server and sending them a Relay Core. A core can manage 1 to many agents. It also handles restores and server rollbacks.
- Replay Admin Console – An enterprise console that centrally manages the Replay 4 environment.
