The CLI system --init
Workaround/Solution
If you must use the CLI system --
init command, make sure that
you first disable the replication
relationship between the source
and target DR4000 systems.
CAUTION:
Failure to observe this
practice may corrupt the data that
is stored on the replication target
system.
It is recommended that you
disable the data compression
used by the data source for any
first-time backups. For optimal
savings, native data sources need
to send data in its raw state for
ingestion.
