Introduction to Protecting Virtual Machines

Virtual machines are protected in virtual protection groups (VPG). A VPG is a group of virtual machines that you group together for recovery purposes. For example, the virtual machines that comprise an application like Microsoft Exchange, where one virtual machine is used for the software, one for the database, and a third for the Web Server require that all three virtual machines be replicated to maintain data integrity.

Any virtual machine whose operating system is supported in both the protected site and recovery site can be protected in a VPG.

There are three types of VPGs:

Remote DR and Continuous Backup VPG (Remote VPG)
A VPG for Disaster Recovery purposes. You can set up replication to one or more sites and easily failover applications in case of a disaster, or perform a failover test. In addition, you can also configure Extended Journal Copy to store data for extended periods.
Local Continuous Backup VPG (Local VPG)
A VPG for Backup purposes. You can set up replication to a local journal and configure Extended Journal Copy to copy and store data to an on-site, off-site or cloud Repository. This VPG enables quick and easy file/folder restores and instant recovery of VMs.
Data Mobility and Migration
A VPG for Data Mobility and Migration purposes. You can set up remote replication to any of the supported platforms and easily orchestrate the migration of applications or even entire sites. Once the initial synchronization is complete, simply use the Move workflow to initiate the migrations.
