Create a Plan with a Backup Task

A plan includes different types of tasks that you want to perform. To create a virtual standby machine, you create a plan that includes a backup task and a virtual standby task. A backup task performs a backup of the source nodes and stores the data to the specified destination. This backup data is then used by the virtual standby feature and converts it to a virtual machine format. For more information, refer to create a plan with a backup task.
