The workflow configures replication for multiple virtual machines from the local site to remote vSphere or cloud site.
If one or all of the selected virtual machines are not powered on, replication is configured but full initial synchronization is completed upon powering on the virtual machines. You can run the workflow with a replicated virtual machine included in the VM array, however the workflow does not reconfigure replication for that virtual machine. The rest of the virtual machines included in the VM array which are not already replicated are configured for replication.

Replication Settings |
Guest OS quiescing |
Enabling OS quiescing improves data consistency but limits RPO time |
|
RPO in minutes |
Recovery point objective in minutes (default value is 240) |
||
Network compression |
Enabling replication data compression reduces network bandwidth, but increases CPU utilization |
||
Point in time instances |
Maximum supported number of snapshots per virtual machine is 24 |
||
Points in time enabled |
Instances per day (multiplied by number of days should not exceed 24) |
Number of snapshots taken per day |
|
Number of days |
Number of days for which snapshots are kept |
