How the Frequent Recovery Point feature works

Frequent Recovery Point backs up transaction logs at a frequency that you determine to meet the Recovery Point Objective (RPO). Frequent Recovery Point backs up the most recent transaction logs created after the last full backup copy or the previous Frequent Recovery Point backup copy.

The Frequent Recovery Point feature creates backup copies at a specific frequency and names them using a unique naming convention. The lowest value for the interval between any two Frequent Recovery Point backup copies is 10 minutes. The default value is 15 minutes.

You can create a Frequent Recovery Point backup copy after you create a full backup copy. You can trigger a SnapMirror update of the SnapInfo volume after the Frequent Recovery Point backup is complete.

A Frequent Recovery Point backup operation creates a Snapshot copy on the SnapInfo volume and names it using the following convention:

efrpinfo__<exchserver name>_date_time

SnapManager retains only one Snapshot copy with this name.

You can use "Run command after operation" with the Frequent Recovery Point feature.
