VRO recovery plan

[benjonoug]

Hello All,

I created my recovery plan using backup job and this job has 20 virtual machines.
I want to know if i can execute the plan and recover only one virtual machine instead of all of the job.

thank you

Hello Benjamin

As far as I know, executing the plan for a single VM is not possible.
May I ask why you want to execute the plan for only a single machine must be recovered?
The Disaster Recovery Orchestrator is meant to plan and recover entire environments, rather than a single machine.
A single machine can always be recovered from the original VBR console.

Best,
Fabian

Hi Benjamin,

If you wish to test only one or a few of the VM backups - you can create a SureBackup job for this in VBR, and latest Sure Backup jobs in VBR v12.1 can be set to test only a random numbers of VMs each time it runs.
This is a good method to do occasional / random spot-checks for a small number of VMs.

However it is recommended that the Veeam Orchestrator recovery plan should contain all VMs, and they should all be recovered when it runs (or all be tested in a DataLab). This minimizes human error when performing DR, and VRO plan tests will also show real-world RTO and RPO you can expect in a disaster situation.

Hope that helps!
