You might need to clear the replication flag on a replication DS-System when a primary DS-System has not finished sending all the data from a replication session. During this period, the backup is not accessible on the replication DS-System.

If the primary DS-System fails during this period, and there are backups that have not finished replicating to the replication DS-System, the DS-System will reject new backup activities. Once the primary DS-System is back online, it will complete the replication process.

Any affected backups will not be immediately accessible. For these backups, you have the option of clearing the replication flag.

Clearing the replication flag allows the DS-Client to connect to the replication DS-System. Any data from the last unfinished replication session will be removed when the DS-Client connects and synchronizes with the replication DS-System.
