Storage Center OS Version 7 Command Utility Reference Guide

Description

Shows Replay information. Output depends on the filter options specified in the command.

NOTE: A Replay is a Storage Center point-in-time copy that allows a site to restore data from a specific point in time. When planning Replay schedules and expiration settings, take care to balance restore requirements with the amount of resources consumed by unexpired Replays. Unexpired Replays can consume a disproportionate amount of Storage Center resources.
