Migrations and replications

Migration is the process of copying backed-up data from one media pool to another, for example, from disk to tape. You can check the status of your migration or replication job from Main selection -> Job State -> Migrations and Replications.

Information sign.png Note
As of 4.4.3 Beefalo V2, you can check the details of your migrations and replications online by using new Web UI. For details, see SEP sesam Web UI.

Migration and replication use similar filters and selections as does SEP sesam backup system, for details see Backups by State.

The columns provide details on status, start and stop time, media pools, etc., used for the migration or replication task.

You can also examine the progress of the replication and see how much data is being transferred; you can check data size, physical and nominal data in the columns Data Size, Transferred, Transferred (Brutto) and Progress, respectively. For details, see Checking replication status.

With v. 4.4.3. Beefalo, SEP sesam provides additional View Mode button that enables you to switch between the table and tree view.

  • Tree view: SEP sesam default view shows the status of individual migration or replication tasks grouped together in a hierarchical view.
  • Table view: A simple flat view that shows the status of individual migration or replication tasks one after another.

You can use a force refresh by clicking Shift and Refresh button to clear the GUI cache memory. In some cases clicking only the Refresh button won't show the updated view.
