Reversing Replication Back to the Production Site (BUI)

After all changes have been replicated from the recovery site to the production site, reverse replication again to restore the original replication relationship between source and replication targets.

1. From the production appliance, go to Shares > Projects > Replica and look for the new project name.

   The project is named target_appliance: new_project/share.

2. Select the new project and click its edit icon .
3. Click the Replication tab.
4. Click the reverse replication direction icon .
5. In the Reverse Replication window, enter a name for the new local project and then enable the action.

   ---

   Note -  The project name must be unique on the appliance where the reverse operation is performed. If a project with the same name exists on the source at the production site, the reverse operation will fail.

6. Depending on the protocol used, remap (SMB clients) or remount (NFS clients) shares to the appliance at the recovery site.
7. Delete the original project on the source appliance.
   1. Go to Shares > Projects > Local and look for the original project, which should be empty.
   2. Select the empty project and click its destroy icon .
   3. Click OK.
