Starting the Site Replication

After you've set up an export archive (see Setting Up the Export Archive on the Source Server), you're ready to initiate the replication process on the source server using the Manage Site Replication page.

To replicate your Web site, perform these tasks:

1. Log on to the source content server as an administrator. On the main menu, select Administration, then Site Studio Administration, and then Manage Site Replication.

   This opens the Manage Site Replication page.

2. Select the desired export archive.

3. Click Export.

If you chose to automatically export new and changed content (Step 10 in Setting Up the Export Archive on the Source Server), then the replication process is automatic after you export the archive.

Note: The first time you export a Web site, it must be done manually. If the site is set for automatic export, de-select the Automatically export new and changed content checkbox, then click Export to run the first export manually. After this first manual export, replication can be made automatic.

Depending on the size and complexity of your site, you may must allow plenty of time for the target content server to re-index your site when the replication is complete.
