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:
