Difference in Data Replication for WAN & LAN

[prahn]

Hi!

I just read in the Licensing comparison, that Data Replication for WAN is not included in the Lite version.

What's the difference here? I think this is about compression while transferring, right?
But how do I define WAN or LAN in the GUI??
I found the WAN switch for Volume replication, but not for Data replication.

We have a Licensed version in the LAN, but the DSS for offsite backup is still a Lite version currently. Do we really need another license for the destination DSS offsite?

data replication is done via rsync.
no wan option required.
set up IP's, and credentials, open port 873 in the path, and off you go!

DSS V6 Lite version is limited and is a free version and does not come with WAN Data or Volume replications.

Link below provides what is available with the DSS V6 and Lite version.

The WAN is not for compression but is for replicating over the WAN with specific ports to be open on your router or firewall.

WAN Data Replication is used with the port 873 that is needed for the Source server of the DSS V6 and not with the Lite.

Ah, yes....
forgot about the port differences in lite..

In rsync there is a compression option available ("-z" I remember), which I used for WAN replication in the past. Is this option not available in DSS?

There's some confusion now?!
Do I need to have a full paid version as a destination over WAN?
Or is the Lite version suffiecient?

Sorry, a small addition:
What's the difference? Just a specific port? In the Lite version the port is choosed random??

This cannot be set from the webgui, I will see if I can get the defaults for you though.

Yes

Not as a destination over WAN

Ok, that's definetely clear now! ;-)
Would be nice to know if compression for rsync is available!
Thank you.

If you mean an option to choose for compression, well this is not available yet,
but rsync has some internal mechanism for compression the data inside it.

[prahn]

Ok, but it would really be nice, if this compression option will be integrated in a future version. Should be really easy to implement!

If I make data replication via VPN to my offsite storage I do not need a specific port at all, because all ports are allowed anyway. I then do not have any difference in using the Lite version instead of using the paid version, right?
