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. In the Policies content pane, click Schedules.
    2. On the Schedule Information page, complete the following fields and then click Next:
      Table 1. Schedule Information page
      Field Description
      Schedule Name Specify a schedule name.
      Policy Select the policy that you are scheduling.
      Action Select the Recovery Check.
      Application Host Select the PowerProtect Data Manager host.
    3. On the Scheduling page, complete the following fields and then click Next:
      Table 2. Scheduling page
      Field Description
      Frequency Enter the frequency in days and hours.
      Next Run Date Select the date and time to start running the policy under this schedule.
      NOTE:The Cyber Recovery UI uses the same time zone as the Cyber Recovery management host for the scheduled time.
    4. Review the Summary page and either:
      • Click Finish if you are satisfied with the summary information and want to add the schedule.
      • Click Back to return to the previous page to change the information.
      • Click Edit to return to a specific page in the wizard to change information.
  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.
