Abstract
A method and apparatus comprising a replication appliance that is coupled to a backup media server. The media server communicates with the replication appliance via either an in-band communication or an out-of-band communication that informs the replication appliance of the completion of a backup within backup software. Upon receiving the notification of the event, the replication appliance will replicate the change data forming a replicated image of that data for storage either locally or remotely from the replication appliance. This replicated image may be used for archival purposes.
