SRM Test Plan - Best practices on how long I can keep up the Test Plan?

[vm_mmaguy22]

Hello All, question about running the Test Plan. Is there a best practice time for how long we can have a Test Plan run for before we have to run the Cleanup? Like Snapshots, VMware recommends not to keep a VMware snapshot longer than 72 hours. Is there a similar recommendation/best practice Test Plan should be running for?

It depends... if after run the test plan everything goes fine, you should run the clean up immediately. Remember that depending of your storage vendor, the SRA may create snapshots of volumes on storage at DR site, and with that in mind, you can follow the recommendation to not run from snapshots for a long time, since that can use additional space in your storage.
