Veritas Volume Replicator (VVR) is an optional, separately licensable feature of VxVM. VVR is a data replication tool designed to maintain a consistent copy of application data at a remote site. It is built to contribute to an effective disaster recovery plan. If the data center is destroyed, the application data is immediately available at the remote site, and the application can be restarted at the remote site.

VVR works as a fully integrated component of VxVM. VVR benefits from the robustness, ease of use, and high performance of VxVM and, at the same time, adds replication capability to VxVM. VVR can use existing VxVM configurations with some restrictions. Any application, even with existing data, can be configured to use VVR transparently.
