[cisco-voip] DMA-Snapshot or replication?

[Ted Nugent]

This statement in DMA leads me to beleive that the info is replicated but i
need to be sure. Can anyone confirm?


DMA export should be run a few weeks prior to the actual upgrade event,
depending on the size of the system. This allows time for you to analyze and
correct the existing data to be compliant with the new upgraded system and
to ensure the final DMA export will not contain any error.
