So I continued on, and then all of a sudden I get:
Enable-StorageGroupCopy : The number of standby continuous replication targets on this computer has reached the limit: 5

This is pointless for all but small shops, which likely don't have the budget or need to do SCR. Do I need to think about doing CCR over a wan instead?
Am I missing something?
