Instant Cloud Recovery tab overview in Backup Exec

On the Instant Cloud Recovery tab, you can manage disaster recovery with Azure Site Recovery. You can monitor the replication health of virtual machines and enable replication of on-premises virtual machines, whose hosts are configured with Azure Site Recovery.

With the Instant Cloud Recovery tab you can also refresh the view of virtual machines in Backup Exec, change the Subscription and Recovery Services Vault, view error details, renew certificate, view virtual machine details from the Azure portal, manage failover from the Azure portal, create new infrastructure from the Azure portal, and delete the Azure resource configuration from Backup Exec.

You can view the protection status, replication health, and validation errors for a virtual machine.

See About Instant Cloud Recovery.

Description

Manage

Manage Failover

Lets you manage failover only for a virtual machine that is replicated or protected.

This option takes you to the Azure portal to manage the failover.

See How to manage failover for a virtual machine.

Manage Replication

Lets you manage replication for virtual machines of a configured Recovery Services Vault from the Azure portal.

This option takes you to the Azure portal to manage the replication.

See How to manage replication for virtual machines.

View Error Details

Lets you view errors for a virtual machine. Before you protect a virtual machine, you must resolve any validation errors that are identified.
