Introduction
AFM-based asynchronous disaster recovery (AFM DR) is a fileset-level replication disaster-recovery capability.
Recovery time objective (RTO)
Recovery time objective (RTO) is the time taken to convert secondary fileset into active primary fileset and move applications to that site, when a disaster occurs at the primary site.
Modes and concepts
AFM DR uses the same underlying infrastructure as AFM. AFM DR is characterized by two modes; the fileset in the primary cluster uses the primary mode, and the fileset in the secondary cluster uses the secondary mode.
