Recoverpoint for VMs 4.3 and Application Consistent Bookmarks.
I am new to any version of Recoverpoint and attempting to setup application consistent bookmarks with the Recoverpoint for VMs 4.3 and do not understand how to set it up and have the VMware Web plugin call a script or setup the KVSS API for VSS writers from with the GUI. There are some steps within admin guide(page 37-39), but it's unclear if they are built into scripts and ran outside Recoverpoint or called from the Recoverypoint program somehow. And exactly what applications and versions are supported by Recoverpoint for VMs 4.3 for application consistent bookmarks?

Hi there,
RecoverPoint for VMs 4.3 includes KVSS which enables application consistency. The KVSS software package contains a binary (kvss.exe) which should be run on a guest OS of a protected VM to communicate with RP4VM to create application consistent bookmarks for the guest OS databases and filesystems. KVSS supports Windows 2008 and up, SQL2012 and up as well as Exchange 2010 and onwards.
Hope that helps,

Hello Idan,
Thanks for information, but I am not sure how to integrate the kvss utility into the Recoverpoint for VMs application or is all this a manual process? In other words, I have to know when to run kvss, confirm it ran, and then log into Recoverpoint for VMs and create the bookmark? Can all this be automated so kvss and recoverpoint run on a schedule?
Thanks,
Neil
