copy vs. replica

Examining Replica IDs
A replica has the same replica ID as the original file or database. This distinguishes a replica from a copy of a database made by choosing File - Database - Copy. The common ID lets you replicate changes between the replica and the original database. If you have two copies of a database with different replica IDs, you can't replicate between them.
Tip If you copy a database (.NSF) file using your operating system, the copy is a replica. Only copies made in Notes are not replicas.

To see a database's replica ID

1. Open or select the database.

2. From the menu, choose File - Database - Properties and look under "Replica ID."

3. Click the Information tab.

so it creates right now a replica not a copy, right ?

i know that it's possible to change it in different ways but the clients requires to have it done with Backup Exec - Symantec says it's not BE but the client env.
