Selecting the target volume

If you have not done so already, launch the Protect an entire server using a Hyper-V virtual machine workflow.

  1. Select the volume where you would like the replica virtual machine to be stored. The target volume must have enough free space to store the source data.
  1. By default, the replica virtual machine will be created in the HVRA_Replicas\<source host name or IP> folder. If you want to change the replica virtual machine path, enter it in the field. The chosen directory will be created on the root level of the selected volume.

Note:

All virtual hard disks (VHDs) will be created in the same folder.

If the folder already exists, you will have the option of re-using the existing VHDs. For more information, see Reusing virtual hard disks.
  1. When you are finished, click Next.

Next step: Configure the replica virtual machine
