Running a PowerProtect Data Manager recovery check

Run a scheduled or on-demand PowerProtect Data Manager recovery check to ensure that after a successful recovery a copy can be recovered.

About this task

When the Cyber Recovery software completes a recovery check action, the copy's status is marked as recoverable or nonrecoverable. The Cyber Recovery software reverts PowerProtect Data Manager back to its initial state from which you can run a recovery. However, you can run a recovery manually to determine if the copy is recoverable and manually perform the cleanup.

Steps

  1. Schedule a recovery check.
    1. Select Policies from the Main Menu.
    2. Click Schedules at the top of the Policies content pane.
    3. Click Add and complete the following fields in the dialog box:
      Table 1. Add schedule fieldsThis table lists and describes the fields required to schedule a PowerProtect Data Manager recovery check.
      Field Description
      Schedule Name Specify a schedule name.
      Policy Select the policy that you are scheduling.
      Action Select Recover Check from the drop-down list.
      Frequency Enter the frequency in days and hours.
      Next Run Date Select the date to start running the policy under this schedule.
      Next Run Time Select the time to start running the policy under this schedule.
    4. Click Save,
    The recovery check runs, using the values that you defined in the recovery check schedule.
  2. Run an on-demand recovery check.
    1. Select Recovery from the Main Menu.
    2. Under Copies, select a copy.
    3. Click Recovery Check.
    The recovery check runs immediately.

Results

The recovery check procedure does not provide the option to access the PowerProtect Data Manager UI. The procedure recovers the PowerProtect Data Manager server and then automatically cleans up the recovery, regardless of whether the recovery is successful or fails. You cannot recover a VM, but the copy can be recovered when necessary.
