In a Dell RecoverPoint system with XtremIO arrays at both production and disaster recovery sites, setting the replication mode for a Consistency Group as "Continuous" implies that the replication occurs continuously without predefined intervals. This mode aims to minimize the Recovery Point Objective (RPO), which is the maximum targeted period in which data might be lost due to a major incident. While an RPO of 0 seconds is ideal, it is often not practical due to network latency and system processing times.Therefore, an effective RPO of less than 60 seconds is a realistic target for a
"Continuous" replication mode, ensuring that data loss is minimized to the lowest possible timeframe in the event of a disaster1.
