Setting up a virtual failover client on a Recovery-Series appliance

Use the steps described below to set up a virtual failover client (VFC) on a Recovery Series backup system or replication target. Before setting up the VFC, It is recommended that you review General requirements and considerations for Windows instant recovery.

I          Determine the system load (optional). See Unitrends system resource considerations for Windows instant recovery.

II         Allocate system storage for instant recovery. See Allocating storage for Windows instant recovery.

III       Set up a virtual network bridge and network to access the LAN during instant recovery. (This is not client-specific, so if a bridge and network are already set up on the Unitrends system, you can skip this step.) SeeSetting up a virtual network for Windows instant recovery.

IV      Set up a VFC. See Creating a virtual failover client.
