10. On the Agents page, select the agents you want to replicate to the target core using the seed drive.
11. Click Finish.
12. If you created a seed drive, send it to your target core.
The pairing of the source core to the target core is complete. Replication begins, but produces
orphaned recovery points on the target core until the seed drive is consumed and provides the
necessary base images.
Consuming the seed drive on a target core
This procedure is only necessary if you created a seed drive while Configuring Replication For A Self-
Managed Core.
To consume the seed drive on a target core:
1. If the seed drive was saved to a portable storage device such as a USB drive, connect the drive to the
target core.
2. From the Core Console on the target core, select the Replication tab.
3. Under Incoming Replication, select the correct source core by using the drop-down menu, and
then click Consume.
The Consume window appears.
4. For Location type, select one of the following options from the drop-down list:
• Local
• Network
• Cloud
5. Enter the following information as needed:

Description
Select the agents you want to replicate using the seed drive.
Select this option to replicate the entire recovery point chain to the seed drive.
This option is selected by default.
Typical seeding in AppAssure replicates only the latest recovery point to the
seed drive, which reduces the amount of time and space required for creating
the seed drive. Opting to build recovery point (RP) chains to the seed drive
requires enough space on the seed drive to store the latest recovery points
from the specified agent or agents, and may take additional time to complete
the task.
Select this option to create the seed drive in a format that is compatible with
both new and older versions of the AppAssure Core.
Description
Enter a path to where the seed drive is located, such as a USB drive or a
network share (for example, D:\).
Enter the user name for the shared drive or folder. User name is required only
for a network path.
Enter the password for the shared drive or folder. Password is required only for
a network path.
