Custom tests

Copy data management supports a wide range of tests that can be applied at the VM level. Once configured, these tests are included in the data copy access job.

Note:  Do not select the Skip Power On option for VMs you wish to test.

Application tests

Application tests enable you to verify that specific applications and processes will function as intended in a disaster recovery scenario.

Custom scripts

Data copy access jobs support custom scripting that enables you to develop your own tests and further customize your disaster recovery plan.

Note:  All custom scripts must output a result.

Malware scans

Data copy access jobs enable you to scan backups for malware in your test environment rather than impacting your production environment.

Note:  Malware scans are not supported on Linux VMs or Windows guest OS versions earlier than Windows 2008R2.
