In the fourth step of the New Replication Task wizard you should define your replication task name. Note that [ ] { } ; , . symbols are not allowed for the task name.
For replication task preferences click More options.... The following options are available.
1) E-mail notifications.
2) SNMP notifications.
For details see the Notifications section.
3) CBT replication.
This option in the Additional settings section defines whether to utilize the Changed Block Tracking (CBT) feature of VMware for the virtual machines supporting it. The default setting for CBT replication is: Enabled.
CBT replication keeps track of all the changed blocks inside the virtual machine. This significantly reduces the time for replication. The time is reduced because Acronis vmProtect 8 does not need to check which blocks have changed since the last backup. It gets this information from the VMware API.
4) Provisioning mode.
Specify the provisioning mode that will be used on the target VM replicas. The modes are thin provisioning/thick provisioning/flat provisioning/As an original. The default mode is Thin provisioning. Flat provisioning mode is used for ESXi version 5.0.
When you click on the Save button, all your task parameters will be saved and you will see the created task in the Tasks view. Clicking on the Save & Run button will save the task and run it right away.
