Testing Recovery

In order to verify that the disaster recovery that you have planned is the one that will be implemented, Zerto recommends testing the recovery of the VPGs defined in the protected site to the recovery site. This section describes how to test VPG recovery.

The following topics are described in this section:

■ “The Test Failover Process”, below

■ “Starting and Stopping Failover Tests”, on page 253

■ “Viewing Test Results”, on page 257

■ “Live Disaster Recovery Testing”, on page 257

Note: You cannot perform a failover test while a backup job is running.
