Perform Full System Assured Recovery Testing

You can perform Assured Recovery Testing for Full System HA scenarios manually or automatically.

During AR Testing, the software suspends journal application, creates a VM with the virtual hard disk file and a snapshot to save possible changes, then starts the VM. If you chose automatic AR testing, VMware tools are installed. Wait for the software to stop the test. If you chose manual, you'll need to stop the AR test manually.

Once stopped, the software resumes applying journal changes.

For more information, see the section, Testing Assured Recovery and Managing VSS Snapshots, in the CA ARCserve RHA Administration Guide.
