Hello,
I have problems with starwind. I want to create a remote replication and backup!
Can you explain me how to install this please ?

Of course,
1. Ensure that your link is at least 100mbps
2. Create an image file target on the DR server
3. Create a mirror target on the primary site specifying your DR server's IP and target name during the device creation process
4. Connect the mirror target (only, image file should not be connected)

Yes, Thank you for your help.
But i did every that you says.
1. i created a image file in the DR
2. I went to the local starwind and selected add a target, hard drive, advanced Virtual, Mirror device, create new ...
3. i created new local image file then i selected Remote iSCSI Target by adding the address, port and target Name with the cache mode.
But after select a initialization methode, when i want to press the next, that do anything, you can press several times the button! But, curiously, that success when i create the second mirror in local! I read in the doc that StarPort drivers needs to be installed before connect a remote iSCSI but i'm not sure? I don't know why that don't run.

I haven't managed to reproduce this on VMs (using the actual build)
I have escalated this to the Q&A department, they will leave their feedback here as soon as they finish the tests.

It success!
After update my starwind version by starwind 5.5.
I create mirror device with a remot iscsi target.
Be careful about the extension of file during the device creation process.
(Exemple : .mir for the virtual disk )
