Thin. Thin provisioning creates a virtual disk the size

original volume is 1 TB, but contains only 2 GB of
used space, Rapid Recovery creates a virtual disk
of 2 GB.

volume that is the same size as the original volume
from the protected server, even if only a portion of
the original volume is being used. For example, if
the volume is 1 TB large but contains only 2 GB of
used space, Rapid Recovery creates a virtual disk
of 1 TB.
