PowerProtect Data Manager 19.15 Amazon Web Services Deployment Guide

Configuring disaster recovery

PowerProtect Data Manager can be configured to automatically back up critical servers on a periodic basis. This protects your infrastructure from catastrophic data loss.

It is recommended to enable DD MTree replication on a local DDVE instance so that the disaster-recovery data is replicated to a DDVE instance in a different region or Availability Zone. Such an infrastructure enhances existing data-protection schemes.

When configured, the RPO of server disaster-recovery backups is a maximum of one hour, and the RTO of server disaster recovery is approximately 45 minutes, depending on the amount of data recovered. Even if PowerProtect Data Manager server disaster-recovery backups are up to an hour old, the system will attempt to synchronize any backups that occurred between the last backup and the time of failure.
