ROBO-PHY-STO-006 |
Use a secondary storage solution for management and workload backup data. |
Separate primary virtual machine storage from backup data in case of primary storage failure. |
Secondary storage is required. |
ROBO-PHY-STO-007 |
Set up the secondary storage with enough size and I/O for the backup operations during the scheduled backup window. |
The backup and restore process is I/O intensive. The backup retention process is a storage-constrained operation. |
The secondary storage solution has an impact on the backup and restore SLA. |
