Deactivate VMware Live Cyber Recovery

If you want to stop using VMware Live Cyber Recovery in a recovery region, you must deactivate the service.

You can also perform these steps if you want to stop using VMware Live Cyber Recovery in one region and want to activate a new region (although deactivation is not required to activate a new region).

Deactivating VMware Live Cyber Recovery does not cancel any previously purchased protected capacity, VM, or ransomware recovery subscriptions.

Note: When you deactivate a region, all snapshots in the region are deleted.

To deactivate VMware Live Cyber Recovery, perform the following tasks in this order:

1. Remove all Cyber Recovery connectors from all protected sites. See Remove a DRaaS Connector from a Protected Site.
2. Delete all recovery SDDCs. See Delete a Recovery SDDC.
3. Deactivate the recovery region from the Global DR Console. (Do this step last.) See Deactivate a Recovery Region. Usage charges for VMware Live Cyber Recovery are not stopped until this step is completed.
