Re: Do i need snapcenter at DR to recover SQL/Oracle/Exchange following Lost of Primary Site?

I think this needs some clarification. SnapCenter is primarily designed as an online backup/recover/cloning tool. It's not designed to address disaster recovery where the primary site has been lost entirely.

 

There are some cases where the snapshots that were created by SnapCenter can be used as part of a DR procedure, but it's unlikely SC itself would be used for site recovery. There could be some situations where the environment was fully virtualized, but you'd want to be very careful about the design and test everything comprehensively. 

 

Most customers that need DR build a solution independently of SC.  Some snapshots and snapmirror relationships are part of the DR architecture, others are part of the day-to-day backup/recovery architecture. The best way to start is to nail down exactly what the requirements are in terms of RPO, RTO, amount of data under management, and the total number of databases that need protection.
