Create a recovery group that specifies the resources to recover. For application-aware recovery, include the VM and its associated databases or applications so the VM is recovered first, followed by the application data.

In the Command Center navigation pane, go to Secure > Cleanroom recovery.

On the Recovery groups tab, in the upper-right area of the page, click Add recovery group.
