You can receive several Windows instant recovery reports and notifications, either automatically based on system processing or by request:
| • | If you checked the box next to E-Mail the virtual failover client recovery verification report on the Add Virtual Failover Client window when you set up your virtual failover client, you receive a daily report with a screen shot of the client’s login screen in audit mode. This is a test to verify that the virtual failover client (VFC) is ready if you need it. See Automated audits for a virtual failover client for more information. |
Note: Verification reports are supported only for virtual failover clients running on a Recovery Series appliance (backup system or replication target) or Hyper-V server. VFCs running on an ESX server must be audited manually. See Manually auditing a virtual failover client.
| • | You can configure email notifications in the Unitrends system to receive reports and notices generated by the system. See About configuring notifications for more information. |
| • | Once a VFC is created, every backup that is performed to protect the original Windows client is restored to the VFC. Go to Reports > Windows Virtual Restores Report to see a report about the status of the restore jobs performed to the VFC. |
| • | If the VFC is running on a Recovery Series appliance and has been in Audit mode or Live mode for more than 14 days, a daily email is sent to emphasize the importance of recovering the original Windows system at the earliest possible time. (For a VFC created on an external hypervisor, this is alert is not used because the VFC has no impact on appliance resources.) |
| • | If the original Windows client disk configuration changes, the VFC is disabled and an alert is generated. At this point, you should delete the VFC and create a new one with the updated disk configuration. |
