NOTE: In this release of Rapid Recovery, Quest removed the Beta label from the Azure repository feature. Quest discourages using an Azure repository for storing original recovery points and recommends using it only for storing replicated recovery points. For more information, see "Replication with Rapid Recovery" in the Rapid Recovery 6.6 User Guide. |
|
|
NOTE: Currently, the Rapid Recovery Core Console lets you connect to an Azure repository only from the source Core that replicates to it, and does not support the Connect to Existing feature. For more information, see https://support.quest.com/kb/332647. |
