Answer options
A: Nearsync hourly recovery points Correct answer
B: Async replication schedules Correct answer
C: Synchronous data replication
D: Volume Group manual snapshot
Correct Answer:
A. Nearsync hourly recovery points; B. Async replication schedules
Explanation

Self-Service Restore (SSR) allows users to perform their own restores. It is fully compatible with asynchronous (Async) replication schedules, enabling both full VM and in-guest file-level restores. SSR is also compatible with Nearsync schedules, but only for full VM restores; file-level restore is not supported from Nearsync recovery points. Because the question asks for compatible technologies and Nearsync supports a key SSR function (VM restore), it is a correct choice alongside the fully compatible Async schedule.

Why Incorrect

C. Synchronous data replication (Metro Availability) is a continuous availability solution, not a snapshot-based technology compatible with the Self-Service Restore portal for point-in-time recovery.
D. While Volume Groups can be protected, SSR is a feature primarily for restoring virtual machines and files within them, not for managing block-level snapshots of Volume Groups directly.
