Performing rehearsal operation on resiliency groups configured with multiple recovery points
Configure VMware virtual machines for protection using a service objective where the data availability mode is Copy and Replication. Use the Rehearsal option on the Resiliency Platform console to ensure the disaster recovery readiness of the assets in your protected resiliency groups. Then during the rehearsal operation virtual machines are created on the recovery data center with the selected backup image.
