For replication jobs, the Job Controller tab shows the Operation Type value as Replication. Separate replication jobs run for virtual machines in different subclients.
For destination virtual machines created by replication, any changes on the destination virtual machine are discarded, and the latest changes from the source VM are applied so that the source and destination machines remain in sync.
If the destination virtual machine is powered on, the replication fails.
Note
For Azure source VMs that contain managed disks, an in-place restore fails. You can perform an out-of-place restore but the managed disks are converted to unmanaged disks on the destination VM.
If a replication operation cannot be completed successfully after three attempts, the job fails. replication jobs can be retried three times. After three failures for a virtual machine, replication is disabled for that virtual machine.
After each successful replication for a virtual machine, replication creates a snapshot for the VM that can be used with validation. An integrity snapshot will be created after every replication job on the destination VM to use it for validation in the next Incremental replication job.
In the Job Details dialog box (available from the Job Controller or restore history), the Virtual Machine Status tab provides status information for VMs. Double-click the row for a VM to view the following information for that virtual machine:
Source VM |
The name of the source virtual machine. |
---|---|
Destination VM |
The name of the destination virtual machine. |
Resource Group/Cloud Services |
The name for the machine where the destination virtual machine resides. |
Status |
The job status of the replication operation for the VM (such as Completed, Waiting, Pending, or Failed). |
Failure Reason |
For failed replication operations, a brief description of the reason for the failure. |
Agent |
The name of the agent that performed the replication operation. |
Restored Size |
The size of the destination VM. |
Sync Status |
The replication status for the destination virtual machine. |
Last Synced Backup Job |
The job ID for the last backup job that was applied to the destination VM. |
