Scheduling Cloud Restore

You can schedule a time for a cloud plan to execute. Only the restore process can be scheduled — all other operations must be performed manually in the Orchestrator UI.

To schedule a cloud plan:

1. Navigate to Recovery Plans.
2. Select the plan. From the Manage menu, select Schedule.

-OR-

Right-click the plan name and select Manage > Schedule.

3. In the Scheduled Tasks window, do the following:

1. Set the Schedule plan execution toggle to Enabled, click the Configure schedule link and choose whether you want to run the plan on schedule or after any other plan:

• If you want to run the plan at a specific time, click the Schedule icon in the Start on field, set the desired date and time, and click Apply.

• If you want to run the plan after another plan, select the Execute after plan check box and click Choose. Then, in the Select Plan window, select the necessary plan and click Apply.

For a plan to be displayed in the list of available plans, it must be ENABLED as described in section Running and Scheduling Cloud Plans.

2. Set the Malware actions toggle to Enabled if you want to check restore points created for machines included in the plan for malware flags. You can also decide whether you want to scan these restore points with antivirus software, YARA rules or both.

By default, Orchestrator checks the most recent restore point on each machine. If no clean restore point is found, Orchestrator halts the plan and cancels the restore operation. However, if you have configured a quarantine network for the recovery location specified when creating the plan, you can instruct Orchestrator to connect the recovered VM to this network.

For more information on how Orchestrator performs malware scan, see Overview.

3. Review configuration information and click Save.

As soon as you click Save, Orchestrator will create a new schedule. To track the status of the created schedule, navigate to the Scheduled tasks tab.
