What is the minimum storage amount required for a 1-hour VPG. For example if I need to replicate 1 TB as much as I need at the recovery site.
Is there a calculator?

Hi Shai-li,

Viola from Zerto here.

The size of the datastore where the journal resides must have at least 30GB free, or have 15% free space,relative to the total datastore space, whichever number of GBs is smaller.

For more exploitation, please refer to our admin guidance Page 56-Journal sizing:

We also have the journal sizing tool for calculation:

Hello,

Contara from Zerto Support.

If the ZVM is on 7.0 or above, you can use Zerto Analytics Planner. The Zerto Analytics Planner will provide you the information on how much resources you need to protect the VMs.
