PowerProtect Data Manager 19.15 Administrator Guide

Quick recovery prerequisites

Before you configure quick recovery, complete the following items:

• Ensure that the local system and the remote system can ping each other using the same method: hostname or IP address.
• Ensure that the version of PowerProtect Data Manager is the same for both the local system and the remote system.
• Attach at least two protection storage systems to the local system: one for local protection storage and one for replication.
• Register asset sources with the local system and configure protection policies to protect those assets.
• Configure protection policies to replicate backup copies to the protection storage system at the remote site.
• Back up the protected assets and confirm that backup data successfully replicates to the remote protection storage system.
  NOTE:Backup copies that have been moved to Cloud Tier cannot be used for quick recovery. To use these backup copies, recall them from Cloud Tier.
• Ensure that the replication protection storage is discovered in the remote system.
• Add and enable the asset source on the remote PowerProtect Data Manager system.
• For Kubernetes quick recovery operations, ensure that the same Kubernetes cluster is not managed by more than one PowerProtect Data Manager instance.

Before you use the quick recovery remote view, add the remote system to the list of remote systems on the local system. If you have changed the PowerProtect Data Manager security certificates after you configured quick recovery, the PowerProtect Data Manager Security Configuration Guide provides instructions to resynchronize the certificates.
