Hi,

I'm quite new to CPS (1 year experience so far) and I have a situation that I'm not sure where to start to look from.

Consider the following 4 servers: CPS_A, FP2, FP2, FP3

Servers are located in the following physical connection:

Office A: FP1, FP2, FP3

Data Center: CPS_A

Office A and Data centre is connected through WAN link.

FP1 and FP2 are our current File and Print servers and they have capacity of 400GB and 300GB respectively they are currently about 80% full. I've been tasked to decomission them and move all the data and share into FP3 which has 1TB capacity.

FP1 and FP2 are currently protected by CPS_A and data is backed up over WAN link each night by the CPS job.

FP3 is a brand new blank server.

My question is, after I move the data into FP3; when it comes to protect it using CPS. The initial sync will take forever as transfering 560GB (80% of current FP1 and FP2 storage). At the current WAN speed I can get about 10GB every 4 hours.

Is there anything I can do in the CPS server to combine the current FP1 and FP2 backups and put it as FP3 backup so I can skip the initial sync?

Thanks,

Rino
