The REPLICATE administration method copies content files from one component of a distributed storage area to another. This task is normally performed by the Content Replication tool or by the Surrogate Get feature. Use the REPLICATE administration method as a manual backup to Content Replication and Surrogate Get.
The REPLICATE method returns TRUE if the operation succeeds or FALSE if it fails.
You must have system administrator or superuser privileges to use the REPLICATE method.

Navigate to Administration > Job Management > Administration Methods.
