    • Exclude volume from replication

      Is there any way to exclude one specific volume on a protected VM from being replicated? A cursory Google search seems to suggest that this isn’t possible, but none of the comments I found on it are too recent. I’m hoping it’s possible in 7 and that I’m just not seeing it.

    • Evacuate Host Question

      I’m currently playing around with Zerto 7 in my lab, and had a question regarding the evacuate host feature.  The feature moves all workloads off of a host to and “balances” the workloads across available hosts.  I know the main purpose of using the feature is to clear a host, but the balance feature is […]

    • Verify Test Network

      Is anyone familiar with a PowerShell method to return the “Test Network” For each VM in a VPG, or all the VM’s for all VPG’s? Would be nice not having to verify this without opening up each VPG.
