Full-server workloads

Full-server workload protection provides high availability for an entire server, including
the system state, which is the server's configured operating system and applications.
You identify your source, which is the server you want to protect, and your target, which
is the server that will stand-in for the source in the event the source fails. Once the two
servers are selected and their configurations validated, Storage Mirroring Recover
monitors the source for a failure. When it fails, Storage Mirroring Recover allows the
target to stand-in for the source by rebooting and applying the source, including its
system state, on the target. After the reboot, the target becomes the source, and the
target no longer exists.
