Hello,

This is Vladimir M with Zerto Support.

Here is a KB for AD: https://www.zerto.com/myzerto/knowledge-base/best-practices-for-active-directory-domain-controller-availability/

Your documentation says “For example, the virtual machines that comprise an application like Microsoft Exchange, where one virtual machine is used for the software, one for the database, and a third for the Web Server require that all three virtual machines be replicated to maintain data integrity.” But does not mention a 2013 DAG environment where each mailbox server has a copy of all databases. I found one short article where one person said you only need to backup one mailbox server. Also any downtime when protecting the mailbox server initially?

There is no downtime when the VPG is doing the initial sync
