The article describes how to move a Replay repository from one volume to another while still using the same Replay Core.

Solution

  1. Provision the repository volume on the new Replay Core.

      4. HKLM\Software\AppAssure\ReplayEPS\AGENT-NAME

      that corresponds to the volume containing the repository of the protected server that needs to be relocated. The AGENT_NAME value will correspond to the name of the protected server.

    4. Copy or move the TevoRepository directory to the new volume using a fast copy tool such as Microsoft RoboCopy or RichCopy. The TevoRepository should be at the root of the new volume and the directory matching the name of the protected server should appear under TevoRepository.
    5. In the right pane, right-click “target_path” in the Name column, and then click Modify.
    6. In the Value data box, change the drive letter to reflect the drive letter of the new volume, and then click OK. ((For e.g. “I:\TevoRepository\AGENT-NAME” to “F:\TevoRepository\AGENT-NAME”)
