The Virtual Machine Recovery Point Report is helpful in analyzing and determining the effectiveness of your protected VM data environment. From this report you can get a snapshot view of your overall VM backup infrastructure and determine if your data is well-protected. This report also displays the number of recovery points and location of your backup data for any specified day, which is helpful for planning and demonstrating (if necessary) the speed and effectiveness of your recovery strategy of your virtual machines.
Generally if a specific VM contains high priority data, you want to ensure that you have enough recovery points to enable a quick and complete recovery, if necessary.
For example, a VM that contains high-priority data should have five recovery points taken to be adequately protected. If from this report, you discover that this specific high-priority VM only contains two recovery points, you should investigate the reason, and modify your backup schedule as necessary to ensure proper recovery protection. You can determine the most recent recovery point to identify the latest possible time up to which your data can be recovered for each VM and whether it is possible to recover each node as a RAW level recovery, file level or both.
