Configuration
Setting
Description
General General settings include configuration options that apply generally to the Rapid Recovery Core, including
display options and ports for the web server and for the Rapid Recovery service.
For more information about the general settings for Rapid Recovery Core, including how to configure
these settings, see Configuring Core general settings on page 34.
Updates Update settings controls aspects of the Automatic Update feature, which checks for updated versions of
Rapid Recovery software.
For more information about settings for updating the Rapid Recovery Core, including how to configure
these settings, see Configuring update settings on page 34.
Nightly jobs Nightly jobs settings are automated tasks which the Core performs on a daily basis. You can configure
the time the jobs begin and which jobs are performed. Dell recommends scheduling the jobs outside of
normal business hours to reduce load on the system when demand for resources is high.
For more information, see Understanding nightly jobs on page 36, Configuring nightly jobs for the Core
on page 37, and Customizing nightly jobs for a protected machine on page 139.
Transfer queue Transfer queue settings control the number of times transfer operations are attempted if jobs fail due to
unavailability of resources. You can establish the maximum number of concurrent transfers and the
maximum number of retries for transferring data.
For more information about transfer queue settings, see Modifying transfer queue settings on page 37.
Client timeout Client timeout settings determine the length of time before that specific connection requests or read and
write operations should be attempted before timing out.
For more information about client timeout settings, see Adjusting client timeout settings on page 38.
DVM Deduplication
cache
Deduplication ensures that unique blocks of information are stored only once in your repository, creating
references to repeated data blocks. The references are stored in a deduplication cache. If encryption
keys are used, then deduplication occurs within each encryption domain.
DVM deduplication cache settings let you configure the size and specify the locations for the primary and
secondary cache, as well as the location for the metadata cache.
For more information about deduplication cache, see Understanding deduplication cache and storage
locations on page 39. For information on adjusting the settings, see Configuring DVM deduplication
cache settings on page 40.
Replay Engine Replay engine settings control information regarding the communication channel for the Replay engine,
such as IP addresses and timeout settings, to help adjust the performance specific to your network
needs.
For more information about engine settings for Rapid Recovery, see Configuring Replay engine settings
on page 41.
Deploy Deploy settings let you set options for deploying the Rapid Recovery Agent software from your Core to
the machines you want to protect.
For more information about configuring deployment settings, see Configuring deployment settings on
page 42.
Database
connection
Rapid Recovery stores transactional information in a MongoDB service database that is installed locally
by default on the Core machine. You can configure these settings to change how long information is
retained in the database, or to change the connection pool size to allow for more or fewer concurrent
connections.
For more information about establishing or modifying database connection settings for the service
database, see Configuring database connection settings on page 43.
Local database Rapid Recovery displays information about Core tasks, events, and alerts on the Events page. Rapid
Recovery stores this transactional information in a MongoDB service database that is installed locally on
the same machine as the Rapid Recovery Core.
