    Scenario:

    Two primary DPM 2010 servers protecting various data and storing short term backups to SAN. DPM Servers using local SQL instances. One use 2 TB to store short term backups and one use 5 TB to store short term backups to SAN volume.

    Question:

    When setting up the disaster recovery server, do I need to allocate 5+2 GB of SAN space to replicate all protected short term data?

    Or do you present the same volumes to the disaster recovery server and use the same data?

    hi,

    if secondary DPM server (DR) uses the same retention period it is roughly 5+2TB.
    If say primary uses 14 days retention and secondary 7 days, it would need 50% of 7TB, if secondary uses 3-days or less it would need 25% of 7TB. Better estimates can be done using the DPM storage calculators.
