The Local Server page defines the machine ID and directory on the local LAN used to transfer all new files to an Offsite Server. Offsite replication transfers all changes to files and sub-directories in the local server directory to a specified offsite server directory. File transfers are scheduled using Schedule Transfer. Image Location directories should be defined as subdirectories of a Local Server directory to be included in these transfers.
For each local server specify:
The local server directory can be a UNC path pointing to a directory on a network file share. Do not specify a local server directory using a mapped drive. The local server must have a credential set in order to access the network.
Note: See Offsite Replication.
Create
Click Create to create an local server using the options previously selected.
<Select Machine ID>
Select the machine ID you want to act as the local server.
Offsite Server
Select the offsite server to transfer backup files to.
Bandwidth Limit
Full path to directory (UNC or local) to push to offsite replication server
Enter the full path to the directory, either UNC or local, which sends data transfers. The local server sends the total contents of this directory to the offsite server. Do not specify a local server directory using a mapped drive. When specifying a UNC path to a share accessed by an agent machine—for example \\machinename\share
—ensure the share's permissions allow read/write access using the credential specified for that agent machine in Agent > Set Credential.
Check Status
Click Check Status to check the amount of data left to be written to the offsite server immediately. Normally this check is performed only at the end of an active transfer cycle.
Check-in status
These icons indicate the agent check-in status of each managed machine. Hovering the cursor over a check-in icon displays the agent quick view window.

Note: Different icon images display when this add-on module is installed in a 5.x VSA. The Remote Control > Control Machine page displays a legend of the specific icons your VSA system is using.
Delete Icon
Click the delete icon to delete a local server record.
Edit Icon
Click a row's edit icon to populate header parameters with values from that row. You can edit these values in the header and re-apply them.
Restart Icon
Click the restart icon to restart a service on a local server or offsite server. You can determine whether this is necessary by displaying the Remote Control > Task Manager process list for a local server or offsite server. You should see
KORepCln.exe
running on the local server and KORepSrv.exe
running on an offsite server. If not, click the restart icon for the respective local server or offsite server. Other symptoms include:
Status
The status of the local server. At the end of each active cycle, the system checks the local server and reports back the amount of data left to be written.
Offsite Server
The name of the offsite server being sent backup files from this local server.
BW Limit
The bandwidth limit assigned to this local server.
Directory Path
The directory on the local server sending data to the offsite server.
Note: Do not specify a local server directory using a mapped drive.
Status Last Updated
The date and time the local server was last updated.
