# Configure replication for Amazon Web Services

Replication copies already protected virtual machines to an Amazon Web Services (AWS) target site so you can meet disaster recovery and cyber resilience goals with a defined recovery point objective (RPO). Start by configuring a replication target, and then choose orchestrated replication or periodic replication based on how you want replication to run and how you plan to perform failover and failback.

1. Create a replication target.

2. Based on the RPO requirements, configure any of the following replication types:

   - Orchestrated replication: Replicates already protected (backed up) virtual machines to the target site based on the RPO defined in the backup plan

   - Periodic replication: Periodically creates new backups and replicates virtual machines to the target site based on selected RPO.
