Testing Recovery Plans

Before you run a recovery plan, you can use an isolated Orchestrator DataLab to test the entire plan, including the verification of vSphere and agent backups, replicas and storage snapshots. All changes made to machines during a lab session will be discarded as soon as the testing process is over.

To test a recovery plan in a DataLab, perform a number of steps:

1. Create a virtual lab in Veeam Backup & Replication and configure a connection to this lab.
2. Assign the DataLab to a scope.
3. Associate the DataLab with a recovery location.
4. [Optional] Create a lab group.
5. Start on-demand testing or configure test scheduling settings.
