Clearing the replication flag
This situation can only occur on a Replication DS-System.
It occurs during the interval when a Primary DS-System has not finished sending all the data from a replication session. During that interval, the backup set is not accessible on the Replication DS-System (it will return the error “The backup set has not yet completed the replication.”).
During this interval, if the Primary DS-System fails (connection is lost, disaster, etc.), any backup sets that have not finished replicating on the Replication DS-System will reject DS-Client connections.
• Once the Primary DS-System is back online, it will finish the replication and this situation no longer applies.
This option only applies if customers need to use the Replication DS-System immediately (that is, the Replication DS-System must perform with the data it currently has).
Any backup sets affected by this situation will not be immediately accessible, since DS-Client will receive the error: “The backup set has not completed the replication.” For these backup sets, you have the option of clearing the replication flag:
1. On the Replication DS-System, browse the Customers tab and select the backup set you want.
2. Right-click and then select Clear Replication Flag.
• This allows the DS-Client to connect to Replication DS-System.
• Any data from the last unfinished replication session will be removed when the DS-Client connects and synchronizes with the Replication DS-System. (Note the potential impact this will have on your customer.)
