Validate destination VM (Power ON and OFF): Select this option to verify that the destination VM is bootable by powering it on and then powering off. Changes resulting from the power on are not preserved. If guest tools are not installed on the source VM, validation is skipped even when this option is selected.
If validation fails, the destination virtual machine reverts back to its last valid (bootable) state.

Select copy: Select the backup copy that should be used as source for the replication operation.
Override Options
Click Yes to override settings for specific VMs.
To change the destination settings for specific VMs, select the VMs from the Virtual machine list. You can enter the following information:

Virtual machines in a failover cluster can migrate to another Hyper-V server.

For a Hyper-V cluster, the user account must have full Cluster Permissions (Read and Full Control).
