When upgrading a Core (in languages other than English) that protects machines with Agent version earler than 5.4.3.106, the Compatibility page of the Rapid Recovery Core Installer wizard incorrectly shows Agent version 7 in the message instead of Agent 6.2 or Agent 6.3 (based on the installer being used).

None available. Disregard the version number. Protected machines with supported operating systems will be upgraded to Rapid Recovery Agent version 6.3.

The following corrections were made to the Rapid Recovery 6.3 User Guide but not in the in-product help:

One of the introductory paragraphs in the topic "Protecting multiple machines on a VMware vCenter/ESXi virtual host" is duplicated in the in-product help.

A hypertext link in the topic "Protecting vCenter/ESXi virtual machines using agentless protection" is broken in the in-product help. Some minor formatting errors also appear.

Some formatting errors appear in the topic "Protecting vCenter/ESXi virtual machines using agentless protection" in the in-product help.

A hypertext link in the topic "Factors when choosing agent-based or agentless protection"  is broken in the in-product help. 

A clarification regarding Active Block Mapping was added to the User Guide after in-product help was published. For the ABM setting "Exclude subdirectories," the text "Lets you exclude specific folders and files" was replaced with the following text:

"Lets you exclude specific  files by specifying '<file name>' or '<folder>\<subfolder>\<file name>'.

Only the files will be excluded. The folders or subfolders that contained excluded files are included in the mount point, with no contents."

This change appears in three topics:

  • Protecting vCenter/ESXi virtual machines using agentless protection
  • Protecting Hyper-V virtual machines using host-based protection
  • Changing ABM settings

Malformed or missing hypertext links appear in step 13 of the topic "Protecting multiple machines manually" in the in-product help.

In the topic "Generating a Core report on demand," the note under step 6 should begin "In all cases."

Additionally, various formatting updates were applied to topics when necessary.

These errors have been fixed in the Rapid Recovery 6.3 User Guide and the correction will appear in the next release of in-product help.

For agentlessly protected machines only, web help contains a link on the protected virtual machine's System Information page that shows an incorrect topic, "Viewing system information for the Core."

Please disregard this help topic. This link is expected to be removed in a future version of Rapid Recovery.

108288 In release 6.3, a link to in-product help for the new Active Block Mapping feature is present only for protected hypervisor hosts, and is not yet available for agentlessly protected virtual machines.

Where to find Rapid Recovery system requirements

Where to find Rapid Recovery system requirements

For every software release, Quest reviews and updates the system requirements for Rapid Recovery software and related components. This information is exclusively available in the release-specific Rapid Recovery System Requirements Guide. Use that document as your single authoritative source for system requirements for each release.

You can find system requirements and all other documentation at the technical documentation website at https://support.quest.com/rapid-recovery/technical-documents/.

NOTE: The default view of the technical documentation website shows documentation for the most recent generally available version of the Rapid Recovery software. Using the filters at the top of the page, you can view documentation for a different software release, or filter the view by document type.

Product licensing

Before you use and manage any version of Rapid Recovery, AppAssure, or DL series backup appliance, you must first obtain a software license. To purchase a license for the first time, contact the Quest Data Protection Sales team by completing the web form at https://www.quest.com/register/95291/. A sales representative will contact you and arrange for the license purchase.

If you need to renew or purchase additional licenses, please contact the Quest Support Renewals team by completing the web form at https://support.quest.com/contact-us/renewals.

After each license purchase, you must activate the license on the Rapid Recovery License Portal. From this portal, you can then download your Rapid Recovery license files.

When you initially install Rapid Recovery Core, you are prompted to upload these license files the first time you open the Rapid Recovery Core Console.

Some users start with a trial license, which has limited capabilities. Once a trial period expires, the Rapid Recovery Core stops taking snapshots. For uninterrupted backups, upgrade to a long-term subscription or perpetual license before the trial period expires. If you purchase a license after backups are interrupted, performing this procedure resumes your backup schedule.

When using a software license in standard phone-home mode, the Rapid Recovery Core Console frequently contacts the Rapid Recovery License Portal server to remain current with any changes made in the license portal. This communication is attempted once every hour. If the Core cannot reach the license portal after a grace period, the Core stops taking snapshots for non-trial licenses. The grace period (10 days by default) is configurable (from 1 to 15 days) in the license group settings on the license portal.

If a Core does not contact the license portal for 20 days after the grace period, it is removed from the license pool automatically. If the Core subsequently connects to the license portal, the Core is automatically restored on the license portal.

Use of phone-home licenses requires Rapid Recovery users to accept a limited use of personal information, as described in the privacy policy shown when you install Core software. For more information, see the topic "General Data Protection Regulation compliance" in the Rapid Recovery 6.3 User Guide.

NOTE: When registering or logging into the license portal, use the email address that is on file with your Quest Sales representative. If upgrading from a trial version, use the email address associated with the trial version. If you need to use a different email address, contact your Sales representative for assistance.

Complete the following steps to license your Rapid Recovery software.

  1. Open your registration email. When you first purchase a license from Quest, you receive an email from the Quest licensing system. The email includes your license entitlements, expiration date (if relevant), registered email address, andQuest license number. The license number is typically 9 digits, in format 123-456-789. Other formats are supported, as described in the topic "Understanding Rapid Recovery licenses" in the Rapid Recovery 6.3 Installation and Upgrade Guide.
  2. New users: Register for the Rapid Recovery License Portal. If you have not previously created an account on the Rapid Recovery License Portal, then do the following:
    1. Sign up for an account. In a web browser, access the license portal registration URL, https://rapidrecovery.licenseportal.com/User/Register.
      The Sign Up page appears.
    2. Complete the form. Enter the information requested, review and accept the privacy policy and terms of use, and click Sign Up.
      The Confirm Email page appears.
    3. Verify your account information. Check your email and verify your account information by clicking Verify email address.
      The Add License Numbers page appears.
    4. Proceed to step 4.
  3. Existing users: Log into the Rapid Recovery License Portal. If you previously registered a license portal account to use with AppAssure or Rapid Recovery, then do the following:
    1. Use existing credentials. Log into the Rapid Recovery License Portal.
    2. Open the License Numbers dialog box. On the Licensing page, underneath your license pool information, click the License Numbers link.
      The License Numbers dialog box appears.
    3. Proceed to step 4.
  4. Enter your license numbers. For each Quest license number included in your welcome email, click in the License Number text box and enter or paste your license number. Then click + Add License Numbers. When satisfied, click Close.
    The License Number dialog box closes.
  5. Review updated license information. Review license type and license pool information displayed on the Licensing page.
