Checkpoints Dialog

The Checkpoints window displays a list of the VPGs’ checkpoints.

AdmonitionTipTip:  The refresh button is initially grayed out and is enabled for clicking after 5 seconds. It is also grayed out for 5 seconds after being clicked, before being re-enabled.

A reminder, Click the refresh button to view the latest checkpoints is displayed 10 seconds after the refresh button is clicked to remind the user that there is a new Latest Checkpoint.
If the user has scrolled to, and selected, a checkpoint anywhere in the checkpoints list, clicking the refresh button will automatically return the user to the selected checkpoint in the list.
1. Filter the list of checkpoints using the following options:
Latest: Recovery is to the latest checkpoint. This ensures that the data is crash-consistent for the recovery.

When selecting the latest checkpoint, the checkpoint used is the latest at this point in time.

If a checkpoint is added between this point and starting the failover, this later checkpoint is not used.

Latest Tagged Checkpoint: The recovery operation is to the latest checkpoint added in one of the following situations:
By a user.
When a failover test was previously performed on the VPG that includes the virtual machine.
When the virtual machine was added to an existing VPG after the added virtual machine was synchronized.
Latest VSS Checkpoint: When VSS is used, the clone is to the latest VSS snapshot, ensuring that the data is both crash-consistent and application consistent to this point.

The frequency of VSS snapshots determines how much data can be recovered. For details about VSS checkpoints, see VSS Deployment and User Guide, in the section Ensuring Application Consistency – Adding Checkpoints.

Select from all available checkpoints: Displays a complete list of all available checkpoints, including all the latest.

By default, this option displays all checkpoints in the system. You can display Auto, VSS or Tagged checkpoints, or any combination of these.

2. Select the checkpoint, then click OK. If the selected VMs were not protected when the selected checkpoint was taken, a warning will appear informing the user that these VMs cannot be recovered. If none of the selected VMs cannot be recovered, an error is displayed.
