RecoverPoint for VM with Exchange DAG

Question

Hi All We are planning to deploy Exchange DAG (2016/2019) between 2 sites. Each site will contain 2 nodes of Exchange. Can we use the RecoverPoint for VM to replace the cross site DAG scenario?

Hi, I believe it should work fine for this, but I do not see a configuration guide for it.

Hi Josh

Thanks for the feedback.

I came across the below mentioned whitepaper that talks about EMC Recoverpoint with Exchange. Can we achieve a similar result?

Hello Muralee-INET, You can use that guide to achieve a similar setup.

This WP is for classic RP @Muralee-INET and for RecoverPoint Exchange replication which was retired a while ago.

While RP4VMs is application-agnostic and it can be used to protect Exchange, it doesn't integrate with DAG replication. Likewise for classic RP

Hope that helps,

Hi Idan Thankyou for the reply. Is there a WP on how to protect Exchange with RP4VMs ? I am thinking to avoid the DAG and utilize the RP4VM's. Muralee

Idan · Answer

No WP @Muralee-INET on the basis that RPVM is completely storage agnostic. You can also leverage KVSS for application-consistent bookmarks (it's documented in the admin guide) on Windows environments.
