Disaster Recovery Is Now Auto Recovery
The Commvault Disaster Recovery (DR) feature is renamed Commvault Auto Recovery.

Test Failover for Google Cloud Platform
You can perform test failovers of VMs that are hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to test and optimize recovery readiness.
Use test failovers to recover test VMs to a network of your choice. After the test VMs are up and running in the network, you can perform recovery fire drills to practice and optimize recovery processes. This approach to recovery planning empowers you to respond to unforeseen events and maintain the resilience of your GCP infrastructure.
For more information, see Failover Groups.

Undo Failover for Amazon EC2 Instances
Undo failover support for Amazon EC2 instances reduce the time required to switch from DR to the primary site and enables you to discard changes on the DR VM.
With undo failovers, you can do the following:
- Conduct audits, validations, and DR drills in the DR site.
- Simulate DR scenarios to validate recovery readiness and to recover SLAs.
- Discard changes in the DR site when the recovered data is corrupted.
During a failover operation, you can enable or disable the failover capability. After a failover, integrity snapshots are retained.
Note
The Deploy Virtual Machine during failover option has been deprecated. Now, by default, your virtual machines in the DR site are deployed only during failover for optimizing DR site costs and preventing accidental changes to DR virtual machines.
