vSphere Replication Point in time Recovey

Hi All,

I am testing vSphere Replication in our test environment for production usage. I have enabled the Point in Time Recovery option while initiating the Replication. I have set the RPO to be at 5 min. I have set the retention policy to 3 instances per day for 5 days (just for testing purpose). Is there any relation between Point in time recovery and RPO. Does vSphere repliction mainatain snapshot on random time interval or based on the RPO i.e. every 5 minutes. In my test environment I have observed that the 3 recovery instances are on random time i.e. first instace is on 1:00PM, another on 6:00 PM and another on 11:00 PM. But as per my understanding it should have maintained instances on every 5 minutes i.e. 12:00 PM, 12:05 PM and 12:10 PM and so on. with new arrivial of data at 12:20 PM the first instance of 12:00 is removed and so on.

I am very sorry for the bad explantion. I will be very pleased for any response.

Thank You.
