Active to Active example
In the following example there are again two offices, each with an HP D2D Backup System. The HP
D2D Backup System in Office A is being used by the host server for backup and restore and all of
the cartridges on the Replication-Source library are being replicated to matching slots on a
Replication-Target library on the HP D2D Backup System in Office B. However, there is also a single
host backing up to six cartridges on another library on the HP D2D Backup System in Office B. Two
of those cartridges are configured to replicate to a Replication-Target library on the HP D2D Backup
System in Office A. A replication license is required for both HP D2D Backup Systems.

Many to One example
In the following example a company has two remote offices and a central data center. There are
small HP D2D Backup Systems in each remote office which host Replication-Source Libraries for backup
from local host machines. In the data center there is a larger D2D Backup System that is used solely
to host Replication-Target Libraries for the remote offices. A replication license is required only for the
HP D2D Backup System in the Data Center. That license covers all Replication-Target libraries.
This is also a good example of slot mapping. Library 2 on the Target Appliance is being used as a
Replication-Target Library by Replication-Source libraries in Office A and Office B. The
Replication-Source library in Office A is replicating two slots (colored red), while the Replication-Source
library in Office B is replicating five slots (colored red).
