Version compatibility

Lesson 138 of 201 · 1 min

A snapshot's compatibility with a target environment depends on their relative versions, and the rules are specific. Why it bites in recovery specifically. Your environment is patched monthly. A snapshot from several months ago may not import into today's environment. THAT SILENTLY SHORTENS YOUR EFFECTIVE RECOVERY WINDOW. YOUR REAL RECOVERY POINT IS BOUNDED BY VERSION COMPATIBILITY, NOT BY HOW LONG YOU KEPT THE FILE. Most people do not know this. They have a retention policy, they believe it is their recovery window, and the two numbers are different. What to do about it: know the rule, check it as part of your recovery plan, and TEST a restore from the oldest snapshot you intend to rely on. And verify the current rules against documentation.
