Checkpoints Dialog
When selecting the point to recover to:
■ The refresh button is initially grayed out and is enabled for clicking after 5 seconds. It is also grayed out for 5 seconds after being clicked, before being re-enabled.
■ A Click the refresh button to view the latest checkpoints reminder is displayed 10 seconds after the refresh button is clicked to remind the user that there is a new Latest Checkpoint.
■ If the user has scrolled to, and selected, a checkpoint anywhere in the checkpoints list, clicking the refresh button will automatically return the user to the selected checkpoint in the list.
Latest – Recovery is to the latest checkpoint. This ensures that the data is crash-consistent for the recovery. When selecting the latest checkpoint, the checkpoint used is the latest at this point. If a checkpoint is added between this point and starting the failover, the later checkpoint is not used.
Latest Tagged Checkpoint – The recovery operation is to the latest checkpoint added in one of the following situations:
■ By a user.
■ When a failover test was previously performed on the VPG which includes the virtual machine.
■ When the virtual machine was added to an existing VPG after the added virtual machine was synchronized.
Latest VSS – When VSS is used, recovery or clone is to the latest VSS snapshot, ensuring that the data is both crash-consistent and application consistent to this point. The frequency of VSS snapshots determines how much data can be recovered.
If you do not want to use the latest checkpoint, latest tagged checkpoint, or latest VSS checkpoint, choose Select from all available checkpoints. By default, this option displays all checkpoints in the system. You can choose to display only automatic, VSS, or tagged checkpoints, or any combination of these types.
