TrueCopy and Universal Replicator can share the same pair volumes. Using a combined TrueCopy and Universal Replicator configuration can extend disaster recovery options to a third data center.

Like TrueCopy, you can use Universal Replicator to maintain a copy of production volumes in a second location. However, unlike TrueCopy, Universal Replicator uses asynchronous replication, and the secondary system can be located much greater distances from the primary and secondary TrueCopy sites.

Creating both TrueCopy and Universal Replicator backups ensures that a copy in a third location is available in the event that the primary site or one of the systems fails.

For details about the storage systems that support 3DC configurations combining TrueCopy and Universal Replicator, refer to the interoperability matrixes at https://compatibility.hitachivantara.com.

Configurations consisting of TrueCopy and Universal Replicator pair volumes are described in the Universal Replicator User Guide.
