You can use the Commvault Disaster Recovery solution to replicate virtual machines to a warm disaster recovery site on a periodic schedule.
The Disaster Recovery solution supports the following use cases:
Replication from a primary site to a secondary site
DR orchestration between primary and secondary sites
Failover groups that coordinate the failover of a group of virtual machines
Virtual labs that are created as part of a failover group configuration
