Where are the recovery points available, depending on the retention policy that you have configured?

1. Remote and secondary site

2. Primary and secondary site

3. Primary and remote site

4. Cloud and local site

The correct answer is: Primary and remote site

The correct answer pertains to the configuration of recovery points within the Nutanix ecosystem, specifically focusing on how data is managed across different sites. When considering a primary and remote site configuration, recovery points are stored in both locations. In a typical setup, the primary site hosts the main operating environment, while a remote site serves as a backup or DR (disaster recovery) location. The recovery points represent the states of the data at specific intervals, which are crucial for restoring systems to a particular point in time following data loss or system failure. The retention policy you’ve configured dictates how long these recovery points are maintained at both the primary and remote sites. This setup ensures that organizations can recover from various types of failures with points of recovery that span both the main operational environment and geographically separated backup facilities, thus enhancing data protection and resiliency. The options presented related to various configurations, but the specific focus on primary and remote sites highlights a common strategy in data management for redundancy and disaster recovery purposes.
