Overview
External Replication allows users to easily replicate their Egnyte data to a 3rd-party cloud in order to meet their cyber insurance and security compliance needs.
This feature is available as a standalone add-on for Enterprise Lite, Enterprise, Essentials, Elite, and Ultimate plans. To enable External Replication, please contact an Egnyte account manager or the Egnyte Sales team to add this feature.
Prerequisites
- The end-user must have a Secure & Govern Tenant.
Key Features
- External Replication replicates Shared Data and, upon request, Private Data.
- It includes all data pre-dedupe, since “deduplication” is a feature inherent to Egnyte.
- It retains the same file directory structure on the destination.
- It allows the user to run true-ups Manually, Daily, Weekly, Bi-Weekly or Monthly.
- It is expected to replicate at a rate of 1 million objects (files or folders) per day.
- It currently replicates to Amazon S3 and Wasabi.
Limitations
- It is recommended to limit a single Replication job to 10TB and 10M objects. If the user has more data than 10TB to replicate, then it is best practice to create multiple Replication jobs.
- It will not replicate the Trash contents from Egnyte.
- It will not replicate versions; only the latest version will be replicated.
- It does not retain permissions from Egnyte.
- It does not retain metadata, users or groups, or other features from Egnyte.
- Replication Jobs never expire, but the user can finalize them manually.
