Maximum Hourly Recovery Points for Hyper-V 2016 Replica

Question

Hello,

I have configured the Hyper-V replica with the option to keep additional recovery points every 1 hour.

After 3 hours, I can only find one of additional recovery point.

So I'd like to keep more additional recovery points, at least 5 or 10 additional recovery points.

Hello @MMASLOUH

In addition to maintaining the current storage state of the replicated virtual machine (VM), Hyper-V Replica can also enable hourly recovery points which provide granularity to not only recover to the latest point-in-time, but also to go back a certain number of hours.

I think in Windows Server 2016, the maximum number of recovery points has been increased to 24 to enable a full day's worth of recovery points.
