A replica is a virtual machine where its recovery points are replicated from one SynetoOS 5 appliance to a secondary SynetoOS 5 appliance.

Step 1. Login to SynetoOS GUI

Step 2. From Protection menu, click on Replicas

Example:

If no replicas have been received, the page is empty. If replicas have been received, the page shows the list of all replicated virtual machines.

Step 3. Click Recover

Step 4. Select date and time you want to restore

Step 5. Choose one of the available options for the recovery point

Recover files: Starts the granular file recovery process. This allows administrators to recover individual files or folders locally, or on another virtual machine;
Clone: Recovers a complete virtual machine as it was at the selected time;
Copy to new virtual machine: Creates a block-level copy of the virtual machine on local storage;
Delete: Removes the restore point from storage. Each restore point is independent, with a complete and independent virtual machine image.
