Failback Job Wizard for VMware: Destination

On this page of the wizard, you can specify a failback destination for your VMware replicas. Failback to the original location will update/replace the existing source VM in the original location. Failback to the new location will create a new VM.

Note

When recovering a VMware VM from an ESXi 8.0 host to an ESXi 7.0 host, the VirtualMachineConfigSpec > VirtualMachineSgxInfo property is skipped.
