APPLICATION-AWARENESS ENSURES DATA COHERENCY
For supported applications, Continuous Data Replicator (CDR) will assist in
configuring Replication Pair content by discovering directories that should be
replicated (logs, databases, and so forth) to protect the application's data. After
data for these applications has been replicated, you can browse and access the
Live Copy of the data.
