Changing the registration of a workload

You can change the current registration of a workload by registering it in a new tenant or under a new user account.

When you change the registration of a workload, all protection plans that are applied to it will be revoked. To continue protecting the workload, apply a new protection plan to it.

If you register the workload in a new tenant, the workload will lose access to the backups in the cloud storage of the original tenant. The backups in non-cloud storages will remain accessible.

You can change the registration of a workload by using the command line or by using the GUI installer. When you use the command line, you do not need to uninstall the agent.
