About this release


Rapid Recovery software delivers fast backups with verified recovery for your VMs and physical servers, on-
premises or remote. Rapid Recovery is software built for IT professionals who need a powerful, affordable, and
easy-to-use backup, replication, and recovery solution that provides protection for servers and business-critical
applications like Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database, Microsoft Exchange, and Microsoft SharePoint. Using
Rapid Recovery, you can continuously back up and protect all your critical data and applications from a single
web-based management console.
Rapid Recovery 6.6 is a minor release, with enhanced features and functionality. See New features and
Enhancements for details.
NOTE: For more information about how major, minor, and maintenance releases are differentiated, see
Rapid Recovery release designations.

Rapid Recovery 6.6


Release Notes 1
Some features, previously integrated software tools, or platforms are no longer supported. For more information
on these items, see Deprecated features.
As a minor release, defect fixes and known issues listed in this document are not cumulative.
For information relevant for any other release, please see the edition of release notes specific to that release on
the Quest technical documentation website.
NOTE: In this release of Rapid Recovery, Quest removed the Beta label from the Azure repository
feature. Quest discourages using an Azure repository for storing original recovery points and
recommends using it only for storing replicated recovery points. For more information, see "Replication
with Rapid Recovery" in the Rapid Recovery 6.6 User Guide.

NOTE: Currently, the Rapid Recovery Core Console lets you connect to an Azure repository only from
the source Core that replicates to it, and does not support the Connect to Existing feature. For more
information, see https://support.quest.com/kb/332647.

Quest Support policy


Full support: For customers with a current maintenance contract, Quest Data Protection Support provides call-in
or email support for the current major and minor release, when patched to the latest maintenance release. That
release is known as N. Quest also fully supports N - 1. For Rapid Recovery, Quest also provides limited support
for N - 2. For more information, see "Rapid Recovery support levels" in the Rapid Recovery Release Notes.
Limited support: Quest Data Protection Support may attempt to answer questions on other versions of our
products, provided resources are available. However, if you are using an unsupported or discontinued version,
no new patches or code fixes will be created for those versions. In such cases, we encourage you to upgrade to
a currently supported version of the product.
Product support life cycle: Quest describes its product life cycle (PLC) support policy on its Support website
(visit https://support.quest.com/rapid-recovery/, click Product Life Cycle & Policies, and then expand the topic

Rapid Recovery 6.6


Release Notes 8
Product licensing
Before you use and manage any version of Rapid Recovery, AppAssure, or DL series backup appliance, you
must first obtain a software license. To purchase a license for the first time, contact the Quest Data Protection
Sales team by completing the web form at https://www.quest.com/register/95291/. A sales representative will
contact you and arrange for the license purchase.
If you need to renew or purchase additional licenses, please contact the Quest Support Renewals team by
completing the web form at https://support.quest.com/contact-us/renewals.
After each license purchase, you must activate the license on the Rapid Recovery License Portal. From this
portal, you can then download your Rapid Recovery license files.
When you initially install Rapid Recovery Core, you are prompted to upload these license files the first time you
open the Rapid Recovery Core Console.
Some users start with a trial license, which has limited capabilities. Once a trial period expires, the Rapid
Recovery Core stops taking snapshots. For uninterrupted backups, upgrade to a long-term subscription or
perpetual license before the trial period expires. If you purchase a license after backups are interrupted,
performing this procedure resumes your backup schedule.
When using a software license in standard phone-home mode, the Rapid Recovery Core Console frequently
contacts the Rapid Recovery License Portal server to remain current with any changes made in the license
portal. This communication is attempted once every hour. If the Core cannot reach the license portal after a
grace period, the Core stops taking snapshots for non-trial licenses. The grace period (10 days by default) is
configurable (from 1 to 15 days) in the license group settings on the license portal.
If a Core does not contact the license portal for 20 days after the grace period, it is removed from the license
pool automatically. If the Core subsequently connects to the license portal, the Core is automatically restored on
the license portal.
Use of phone-home licenses requires Rapid Recovery users to accept a limited use of personal information, as
described in the privacy policy shown when you install Core software. For more information, see the topic
"General Data Protection Regulation compliance" in the Rapid Recovery User Guide.
NOTE: When registering or logging into the license portal, use the email address that is on file with your
Quest Sales representative. If upgrading from a trial version, use the email address associated with the
trial version. If you need to use a different email address, contact your Sales representative for
assistance.
Complete the following steps to license your Rapid Recovery software.

1. Open your registration email. When you first purchase a license from Quest, you receive an email from
the Quest licensing system. The email includes your license entitlements, expiration date (if relevant),
registered email address, and Quest license number. The license number is typically 9 digits, in format
123-456-789. Other formats are supported, as described in the topic "Understanding Rapid Recovery
licenses" in the Rapid Recovery Installation and Upgrade Guide.

Upgrade and installation instructions


Quest recommends users carefully read and understand the Rapid Recovery Installation and Upgrade Guide
before installing or upgrading. See the section "Installing Rapid Recovery" for a step-by-step general installation
approach. The approach includes requirements for a software license and for an account on the Rapid
Recovery License Portal; adherence to the system requirements; installing a Core; creating a repository; and
protecting machines with the Agent software or agentlessly. It also suggests use of the QorePortal.
All existing users should read the section "Upgrading to Rapid Recovery." This content describes upgrading
factors, provides an overview of upgrading, and includes procedures upgrading Core, and upgrading Agent on
Windows and Linux machines.
Additionally, Quest requires users to carefully review the release notes for each release, and the Rapid
Recovery system requirements for that release, prior to upgrading. This process helps to identify and
preclude potential issues. System requirements are found exclusively in the Rapid Recovery System
Requirements Guide.
When planning an implementation of Rapid Recovery, for guidance with sizing your hardware, software,
memory, storage, and network requirements, see Quest Knowledge Base article 185962, Sizing Rapid
Recovery Deployments."
If upgrading from a currently supported major and minor version of Rapid Recovery Core (6.1x or 6.2x), then run
the latest Core installer software on your Core server. If upgrading from a version of AppAssure or Rapid
Recovery Core that is not currently supported, use a two-step upgrade process. First, upgrade using a
supported Core installer such as 6.2.1; then run the latest Core installer software.
If using replication, always upgrade the target Core before the source Core.
To protect machines running supported operating systems with the latest Rapid Recovery Agent features,
upgrade or install Rapid Recovery Agent on each.
CAUTION: Ensure that you check system requirements for compatibility before upgrading. For
protected machines with operating systems that are no longer supported, you can continue to run
older supported versions of Agent. In some cases, you can protect those machines agentlessly.
You can use the same installer executable program (standard, or web installer) to perform a clean installation or
to upgrade an existing version of Rapid Recovery Core, Rapid Recovery Agent, or the Local Mount Utility. If
upgrading from versions earlier than release 5.4.3, you must first upgrade to 5.4.3 and then run a more recent
installer on the same machine. For more information, see the Rapid Recovery Installation and Upgrade Guide.
When upgrading a protected Linux machine from AppAssure Agent to Rapid Recovery Agent version 6.x, you
must first uninstall AppAssure Agent. For more information and specific instructions, see the topic "Installing or
upgrading Rapid Recovery Agent on a Linux machine" in the Rapid Recovery Installation and Upgrade Guide.
You can also use the Rapid Snap for Virtual feature to protect virtual machines on supported hypervisor
platforms agentlessly. Important restrictions apply. For more information on benefits or restrictions for agentless
protection, see the topic "Understanding Rapid Snap for Virtual" in the Rapid Recovery User Guide.
For information on downloading Rapid Recovery software, see Obtaining Rapid Recovery software.

License requirements
New Core users must purchase a long-term subscription or perpetual license to use Rapid Recovery.
Some Rapid Recovery Core users start with a trial license, which uses a temporary license key for the duration
of the trial. After the trial period expires, you can continue to restore from existing backups, but cannot perform
new backups or replication until you purchase a long-term subscription or perpetual license. You must then
activate the license on the Rapid Recovery License Portal, download Rapid Recovery license files, and
associate them with your Core.
For more information about licensing, see the following resources:

l For information about activating your new license and obtaining Rapid Recovery license files for your
Core, see Product licensing in these release notes.
