Create a recovery group for an Azure cleanroom site

To recover to an Azure cleanroom site, you need an Azure recovery group that specifies details about the resources to recover.

Note

  • You can create recovery groups that include all the resources for an application, to ensure the resources are recovered in the correct sequence and to the same point in time.
  • For information about recovery group settings that aren't included on this page, see Modify settings for a cleanroom recovery group.

Start the recovery group wizard

  1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Cleanroom > Recovery groups.

  2. In the upper-right area of the page, click Add.

  3. Select Microsoft Azure.

  4. Click Next.

  5. Enter a descriptive name for the recovery group.

  6. Select your Azure recovery target.

  7. For Default recovery point list, select a recovery point for the recovery group.

    The Automatic option streamlines the cyber recovery process by integrating with external security information and event management (SIEM) and security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) tools. These tools identify compromised servers and the exact time of infection, allowing Commvault to automatically revert to the last known good state.

    Instead of SIEM/SOAR tools, you can use blast radius reports or delimited files to determine the last known good state.

    When you use the Automatic option, Commvault uses anomaly detection to ensure that infected backups are excluded. If no exclusions exist, the latest recovery point is used.

  8. Click Save.

    The recovery group appears.

Add virtual machines

  1. On the Entities tab, click Add, and then select Virtual machines.

  2. Select the VMs to add.

  3. To repave the recovered Azure VMs by replacing the operating system disk with a known clean version, do the following:

    1. Enable the Repave VM with new secure image toggle key.

    2. From the Image option list, select the OS image to create the new VMs from.

    3. Enter credentials to access the operating system of the recovered Azure VMs.

    4. To attach both the OS disk and the data disk to the recovered Azure VMs, clear the Skip attaching OS disk check box.

      If you leave this setting selected, only the data disk is attached to the recovered Azure VMs.

      For VMware and Hyper-V source, this setting is available only for Windows VMs.

  4. Click Add.

Add files

You can add files to the recovery group.

  1. On the Entities tab, click Add, and then select Files.

  2. Select servers and/or individual files to add.

  3. Click Add.
