Overview

This article provides general information about replication and its requirements in Xopero ONE.

Understanding replication

Data replication is the process of duplicating data between different storages using one or multiple backup plans. In Xopero ONE, replication plans enable replicating backups from one storage to another, across multiple locations, and between local storage and public clouds.

Including replication in a disaster recovery plan helps prevent data loss in critical scenarios such as storage corruption or malware attacks.

The primary purpose of replication is to enable Xopero ONE users to implement the 3+2+1 backup rule and enhance data security.


Requirements

To create a replication plan, at least two storages are required:

  1. Source storage — containing the data to be replicated.

  2. Target storage — the destination where the data will be replicated.

If you back up data locally and use Xopero Cloud Storage as the target storage in the replication plan, the 3+2+1 backup rule will be implemented automatically.
