The Volume Replicator Command Line Interface (CLI) provides you with a set of commands with various options that can be used from the command line. The command line interface is for an advanced level user for writing scripts and batch files.

If User Access Control (UAC) is enabled, run the Volume Replicator commands in the "Run as administrator" mode even if the logged-on user belongs to the local administrators group. Alternatively, log on as an Administrator (default administrator account) to perform the tasks.

The following table lists the commands with a brief description on each command.
