Question

Should I create a new backup/replication job for the recovered VM?

Answer

NAKIVO Backup & Replication treats recovered VMs as new VMs. If you have recovered a VM and want to protect it, do one of the following:

• Add the recovered VM to an existing backup/replication job.

• Create a new backup/replication job with the recovered VM.

The only exception is a VM recovered to a container (host, cluster, resource pool, and so on), which is already protected by an existing job.

In this case, the recovered VM will be automatically added to the job.
