Replay Manager Management Tools
The Replay Manager Management Tools consist of the following:
• Replay Manager Explorer, a graphical user interface for creating and managing Replays.
• Replay Manager Command Set, a snapin to Microsoft Windows PowerShell that provides cmdlets for scripting Replay Manager
functions.
Verication Service for Microsoft Exchange
If installed, the Verication Service provides verication for Microsoft Exchange backup and restore processes. Dell recommends installing a
Verication Service on a server other than the server that is hosting Microsoft Exchange. For clustered environments, install the
Verication Service on a server outside the cluster.
Using Replay Manager as Part of a Disaster Recovery Plan
Replay Manager can be used in conjunction with Dell Storage Manager to transport snapshots to a Disaster Recovery (DR) site. As such,
Replay Manager can be used as part of a site Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP).
However, because restoring application data is controlled by the application, the specic DRP and the process of activating a DR site is
dependent on the site conguration and the application requirements.
