When you run a plan for ransomware recovery, you can search the VMs in the plan to easily find VMs to recover.

When a recovery plan for ransomware is running, you can search for VMs using VM name patterns (for inclusion and exclusion), you can restrict the search to specific protection groups, and by recovery state (in backup, starting, in validation, staging, staged, recovering, recovered). The search evaluates combined filters as AND operations.

Procedure

  1. Start a plan for ransomware recovery.
  2. From the list of VMs, enter a name pattern to search for a VM.
    Search box on the VMs list for a running ransomware recovery plan.
  3. If the VM belongs to more than one protection group, you can select one of the groups so the search only looks in the selected group.
  4. To further restrict the search, you can select a VM ransomware recovery state: in backup, starting, in validation, staging, staged, recovering, or recovered.
