PowerProtect Data Manager 19.9 Administration and User Guide

Overview of PowerProtect Data Manager Cloud Disaster Recovery

The Cloud Disaster Recovery (DR) feature enables you to utilize a cloud DR site by deploying the Cloud DR Server in the public cloud. You can use the PowerProtect Data Manager UI for the purpose of running VM protection and DR workflows in the cloud.

Examples of Cloud DR workflows include the following:

• Cloud DR site copy management—Set the Cloud DR site by creating a VM protection policy in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI.
• VM copy failover validation—Before a disaster occurs, you can validate the failover of a VM copy to the cloud within PowerProtect Data Manager by running a DR test and then monitoring the test progress.
• Fail over a production VM—You can fail over a production virtual machine within PowerProtect Data Manager by running a DR failover operation and then verifying that the restored VM appears within Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure cloud.
