  • 1.  VDP documentation says that VDPa supports replication to VDPa?

    Posted Oct 10, 2013 10:26 PM

    I know that VDP 5.5 can replicate to Avamar,  but VDPa is still version 5.1.  VDPa 5.1 does not have replicationcapabilities,  but the VDP 5.5 doc says that it does?

    What gives?

    Thanks,

    Hi MattG,

    I agree it is a bit confusing right now, but it will get cleared up shortly. Basically, VDP and VDP Advanced are on two different development schedules. VDP 5.5 came out ahead of the next release of VDP Advanced. VDP 5.5 has replication to Avamar. VDP Advanced is still on 5.1, which does not have any replication features. So you are probably wondering if the next version of VDP Advanced will have replication. As I mentioned at the beginning of this paragraph, it will get cleared up shortly - stay tuned...   :smileywink:
