Creating a Recovery Target

Create a recovery target for the following scenarios:

• To identify resources that can be used for live mounts and to specify parameters for live mount operations, including live mounts that are performed for backup validation.

• To enable testing failover operations for VMs using live mounts.

• To support Virtualize Me operations.

• To specify options for replication to a destination site.

• To identify a destination for full VM restores.

  For VMware, users can select a recovery target as a destination for out-of-place restores of full VMs. To enable this capability for a user, you must associate the recovery target with the user or a user group that includes the user.

Before You Begin

• Configure a hypervisor for the destination.

• For Virtualize Me targets, download the required Windows or UNIX ISO files and copy them to a location on the destination host.

• Review the list of options for the destination hypervisor:

  • Recovery Target Options for Amazon

  • Recovery Target Options for Azure Resource Manager

  • Recovery Target Options for Hyper-V

  • Recovery Target Options for OpenStack

  • Recovery Target Options for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

  • Recovery Target Options for VMware
