How does RecoverPoint handle replication of VM swap files?

When configuring SRM it is recommended to configure the vSphere hosts to store swap files on a swap LUN.  The thinking is that swap files are temporary files that get recreated when VMs reboot.  Since by default the files exist on a replicated LUN,  the underlying SAN replication solution would processing and replicating these useless files.

 

Since RecoverPoint is optimized to dedupe and compress data before sending it to a remote site,  is it worth reconfiguring the vSphere host swap file location?  Does EMC have a recommendation on this?

 

Thanks,
