What is Cloud Replication in IDrive BMR?
Cloud Replication is a feature from IDrive BMR that lets you transfer all your backed up data from the BMR device to the IDrive cloud account. It helps you to create a secondary repository of your backups, thereby, ensuring adequate safety and easy access to your data when needed.
Information about cloud storage usage, total number of clients backed up to the cloud, count of recent backups and insights about IDrive cloud retention policy are displayed in the 'Cloud Replication' tab. Moreover, you can view the cloud replication status of all your clients too. Client name, amount of data transferred to the cloud, backed up drives, date and time of the last backup, etc. are displayed in the 'Cloud Replication Status' section.
To view client-wise cloud replication status, click 
against the required client. Type of backup (Full/Incremental) and other information will be displayed too.
