Replication Versions Compatibility matrix

NOTE:
  • Dell Data Domain Boost devices with VS workload can use ONLY Managed File Replication or Collection Replication.
  • Directory and Collection replication is not supported on the DDVE platforms.  
  • VTL replication is not supported as DDVE does not support VTL.
  • For MTree replication or managed file replication, if a DDOS 7.2 or later source is configured to replicate to a target running
    DDOS 6.2 with gz or gzfast compression, the target system must be upgraded to DDOS 6.2.0.35 or higher.
Replication compatibility (as either a source or destination system) with other versions of DDOS depends on the type of replication:
● Compatible with this DDOS release family, and the previous and next DDOS major release families.
   For example, a DDOS 7.X system is compatible with systems running a DDOS 8.X system or a DDOS 6.X system.
● Collection replication: Compatible only within same DDOS version.
● Delta (low-bandwidth optimization) replication: Compatible with the two previous DDOS release families and the next two DDOS release families.

For example: A data domain running DDOS 7.8.X can be the source or destination in a delta replication context with data domains running DDOS 7.6.X, DDOS 7.7.X, DDOS 7.8.X, DDOS 7.9.X, or DDOS 7.10.X.
