VM power management

These options are effective when recovery to a virtual machine is performed by Agent for VMware, Agent for Hyper-V, Agent for Virtuozzo, Agent for Scale Computing HC3, or Agent for oVirt.

Power off target virtual machines when starting recovery

The preset is: Enabled.

Recovery to an existing virtual machine is not possible if the machine is online, and so the machine is powered off automatically as soon as the recovery starts. Users will be disconnected from the machine and any unsaved data will be lost.

Clear the check box for this option if you prefer to power off virtual machines manually before the recovery.

Power on the target virtual machine when recovery is complete

The preset is: Disabled.

After a machine is recovered from a backup to another machine, there is a chance the existing machine's replica will appear on the network. To be on the safe side, power on the recovered virtual machine manually, after you take the necessary precautions.
