Real-time synchronization optimizes disaster recovery processes with minimal manual intervention

As for the drawbacks or downsides, there is currently no room for improvement in this solution. They have clearly mentioned that on the licensing part. If you select a normal starter license, then you have to give the RTO, RPO two hours. Apart from this, we can deliver real-time 15 minutes. In future updates, there is currently no feature I would like to see in the product. We already discussed with the technical team and product engineering team because I'm a part of the partner technical advisory board of Nutanix. Monthly and weekly, we connect with them for the product features map.

The solution can be used for DR testing and allows running an infinite number of full backups

When we consider the backup model of other products like Veeam, their incremental backup just adds to their first full backup. With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements. With my cloud version of Veritas System Recovery, I can have a full backup every month, which is not possible with any other vendors. Other vendors will claim that the original copy is strong enough, but the customers have to ensure that bugs won't cause any problems in the future. However, with Veritas System Recovery, you can run a full backup this month and again run a full backup on the first or thirtieth day of the next month.
