Select a Source Recovery Point Server(s)

This section provides information about how to perform the first step of selecting a source recovery point.

The Select a source recovery point server(s) screen displays the list of selected nodes with details such as Node Name, VM Name, VM Type, Recovery Point Server, Data Store, RPS Date, Session Name, and Action. For each node in the list, the console automatically selects the Recovery Point Server, Data Store, and RPS Date details. You can also change these details if there are multiple recovery point servers available on each node.
