      <title>Thoughts on recover plan sizes</title>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;This is probably one of those questions without a single answer. Just wondering how people are breaking out their recovery plans and protection groups. We have about 150 VMs on about 50 400GB datastores.&amp;nbsp; This is a newly completed installation with EMC recoverpoint. The sorage team just got all the consistency groups created and we are ready to go to the next step with SRM.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am thinking about making at least one seperate recovery plan for the production SQL server VM. It is about 8 TB with about 30 databases. The question I have is; Put all the rest of the VMs in one big recovery plan?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If there is anyone out there who has lived through a real DR, or a realistic test I would especially like to hear what they think but all comments are welcome. Can a recovery plan be too big? Seems like a lot of eggs in one basket.&amp;nbsp; I know in some caess there would be considerations from an applications standpoint.&amp;nbsp; I am engaing the application engineers to get their input but just curious what others experiences are....&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks in advance for any comments.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;i would group one set of application in a recovery plan, that would allow the right sequence of boot up to ensure that the DB and etc are up before the app and the web ..&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
