A replica is a crawled, secured copy of your website that WebOrion Restorer can serve in place of your original server when needed. The replication process downloads your site’s content and applies security hardening before saving it as a standby replica.

​
Starting a replication

Go to Replication → Replicate Domain from the top navigation menu.

​
Required fields

​
Crawl settings

​
Secure Replica settings

Secure Replica settings strip or disable potentially dangerous HTML elements from the replica, reducing the attack surface of the served copy. Expand Secure Replica Settings to configure:
Custom Options at the bottom of the form should only be used when specifically advised by the Cloudsine support team.

​
Starting the replication

Click Replicate. A confirmation prompt will appear warning that the initial replication can be time-consuming and will generate significant network traffic. Click OK to proceed.
Replication downloads your entire site — schedule it during off-peak hours to minimise impact on live traffic.

​
Checking replication status

The status of your replication can be tracked on the Replica Management page under Replication → List of Replicated Websites. Once complete, the status will show as Completed. See Managing Replicas for details.
