Pausing Disaster Recovery Protection for a Virtual Machine

Pause Disaster Recovery (DR) protection for a virtual machine (VM) to temporarily pause snapshot replication of the VM to a DR site.

For example, you can temporarily pause snapshot replication if you expect a planned network outage in your environment, and then resume DR protection when network connectivity is restored.

Caution: DR protection is maintained as long as the existing snapshots on the DR site are within the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and you resume protection before the RPO is exceeded. If you do not resume DR protection before the RPO is exceeded, recovery is possible only to the point in time when the last snapshot was taken.

Note: If you pause DR protection while a snapshot is being transferred to the DR system, the snapshot will be aborted.
