I'm thinking that this question belongs in the vsphere replication forum, but there is so little activity there - anyone have a good detailed technical white paper on how replication works, and how it uses target datastore space, and what the hbr disk process is, and what effect having thick provisioned source disks has on the target datastore? (do the HBR disks take up a different amount of space depending on whether either the source or target are configured as thick or thin)?
In some cases it is looking like the HBR disks (there is one for each replicated disk) are equal in size to the source disks. In other cases it looks like they are a small tiny subset of the larger source size.
It would be really good to have a detailed description of all of this and how it is supposed to work
