Managing VPGs

After defining virtual protection groups (VPGs) the virtual machines specified as part of each VPG are protected. There are a number of ongoing management tasks that you can perform on a VPG, such as specifying a checkpoint to enable recovery to that specific point or you can modify the configurations of existing VPGs.

The following VPG management options are described in this section:

■ Editing a VPG

■ Adding Virtual Machines to a VPG

■ Deleting Virtual Machines in a VPG

■ Modifying Protected Virtual Machine Volumes

■ Pausing the Protection of a VPG

■ Forcing the Synchronization of a VPG

■ Handling a VPG in an Error State

■ Deleting a VPG

■ Running an Unscheduled Offsite Backup

■ Ensuring Application Consistency – Checkpoints

■ Running Scripts Before or After Recovering a VPG

■ Exporting and Importing VPG Definitions

■ VPG Statuses and Synchronization Triggers

■ Managing Protection When the Recovery Datastore Will Be Unavailable (Datastore Maintenance)

Monitoring VPGs and the VMs that are protected is described in Monitoring Zerto Virtual Replication.
