DES-3611: Specialist - Technology Architect, Data Protection Exam

The RecoverPoint for VMs write splitter intercepts each write issued by a protected production VM, copies it, and sends the copy to the assigned vRPA for replication processing. The vRPA subsequently manages replication and journal handling.

Journal capacity is determined by the recovery retention window: the farther back in time the production image must be recoverable, the more recovery points the journal must retain. Dell documents that the retention policy defines how far back the copy image can be rolled back.

A centralized NetWorker deployment uses a served license. Dell activation requires a Sales Order number or LAC number and, for a served license, the IP address and hostname of the license server. A LAC number together with the license server IP address and hostname meets these requirements.

Avamar Session Security supports authenticated client/server communication with either one-way (single) authentication or two-way (dual) authentication.

XtremIO uses RecoverPoint’s splitterless snap-based replication option, which replicates array snapshots rather than relying on the standard write-splitter approach. Dell documentation identifies XtremIO as an exception that uses snap-based replication; Unity does not support it.
