Hi, I am having two physical sites with on-prem nutanix cluster. I am trying to config async dr from primary to secondary site every one hour. So the snapshot will trigger every one hour and replicate to the secondary site. I read in the portal , the first replica is a full copy and the subsequent are incremental. My question here is , once my first replica, which is a full copy of my data was completed to the secondary site and certain period of time, my first replica will expire and deleted based on my retention configuration. In that case, how can I restore my full data with the help of incremental snapshot from the remote site?

Yes in PD i understood. I a referring in Disaster recovery section below.
https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Disaster-Recovery-DRaaS-Guide-vpc_2023_1_0_1:ecd-ecdr-procedure-manualprotection-pc-c.html ….Kindly look this and let me know.

Hi,
Using DR through PC, you have option to see all Recovery points, if the VM is not active you can only clone on recovery site, cannot revert as the entity is not active there.
The documentation is generic, as you have different VMs running on both the cluster and replicated to each other hence not keeping single cluster idle.

Hi,
You can use https://www.nutanix.com/one-platform and access the DR which gives you guided tour and lab to validate all the options before deploying on your production cluster.

OK thanks for the info. Much appreciate your help on this. I hope the below two points are valid.
If i want to automate my Recovery point creation (async)and replicate to the secondary site based on the schedule ,
- Either I can go with protection-domain based DR with starter license or DR with automatic manner like creating protection policies, replicate recovery point ,recovery plan with pro +advanced replication add on license.
- DR with manual creation Recovery point and manual replication will not suit for my requirement.

Hi Jay,
Its pleasure helping you, To add to the statement “DR with manual creation Recovery point and manual replication will not suit for my requirement.”
The recovery points are always created automatically based on defined schedule, and automatically replicated. The only manual thing is when u have disaster u must activate and power on the VMs.

Yes. But in that doc, they have mentioned we can create manual as well. I understood that is like on demand snap and replication. That is fine. But can you confirm the below one finally.

I can understand that however doing a failover and failback either planned or unplanned we need to manually from the respective sites.
