With standard-frequency snapshots, you can schedule recurring snapshots as frequently as every four hours.
Standard-frequency snapshots and VADP
If your environment is running backup software that uses
VMware APIs for Data Protection (VADP), then that software’s processes might conflict with replication as follows:
- If a VM is being backed up by another backup solution, and VMware Live Cyber Recovery starts a snapshot of the same VM after the other backup software started the backup, then the VMware Live Cyber Recovery snapshot might fail if the backup software finishes the backup before finishing replication of the VMware Live Cyber Recovery snapshot. In this case, even though the snapshot failed, the next scheduled snapshot will resume from where it failed.
- If a VM snapshot is being replicated by VMware Live Cyber Recovery, and another backup solution (non-VMware Live Cyber Recovery) starts a backup of the same VM after VMware Live Cyber Recovery started replication, then the backup might fail if VMware Live Cyber Recovery finishes the replication of snapshot before the backup software finishes the backup.
For example:
