Hello.,

I'm about to replicate around 350 TB from my production site to my DR site using RecoverPoint classic, Gen 5s RPAs running version 5.0.1.1. Looking in the setting that are by default in RP, the compression is one of them, it is by default set to "low". I know compression brings to the table a better utilization of my link between the sites, but also brings more utilization to my RPAs CPU, if I have a link between the two sites big enough, should I disable compression and let the XtremIO do their own thing about compression and deduplication? then use that CPU cycles for replication since is a huge amount of data that I need to replicate?

On the other hand, I won't be able to saturate the link between the two sites since RP uses the 1 GB port for replication (I wish they come in a 10 GB flavor). I can see I'm using around 2 to 3 GB/s in my replication.

For this amount of data, should I always do "Distribute groups" across multiple RPAs? so I can better utilize RPAs resources.

Is there any documentation that talks about these type of things?

Any suggestion will be so much appreciate.

Best Regards.
