After a virtual standby machine is powered on (either manually or automatically), the Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) backup job and the virtual standby job will not run as they were scheduled. You have to manually configure the virtual standby machine to protect it.
Follow these steps:
When you power on virtual standby machines, the application defines the virtual machine names of the powered on virtual machines as the concatenation of the VM Name Prefix option specified in the Virtual Standby task and the host name of the source node.
Example:
After the virtual standby machines are powered on, virtual machine name conflicts can occur when you do not modify the VM Name Prefix in the Virtual Standby task. Problems of this type occur when the source nodes and the virtual standby machines reside on the same hypervisor.
If necessary, you can update other Virtual Standby task settings. Optionally, you can create a new Virtual Standby task to protect the Virtual Standby virtual machine.

For more information, see the Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) User Guide.
Note: Arcserve UDP lets you automatically resynchronize the plans to the managed Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) nodes on a weekly basis. This mechanism lets Arcserve UDP restart the backup jobs on the virtual standby machines by redeploying the plan that was in effect on the Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) node to the virtual standby machine. The plan deployment process behaves in this manner because the source node and the virtual standby machine have the same host name, which lets Arcserve UDP resynchronize the plan. The only limitation to this behavior is Arcserve UDP and the virtual standby machine must be able to communicate with each other through the network. After Arcserve UDP resynchronizes and deploys the plan to the virtual standby machine, you then resume the Virtual Standby job on the virtual standby machine.
