New Replication Task, step 3 “Select location and datastore for replica”

Define the Replica name's Suffix to be used when creating the VM replica. The default replica name
is “%Machine_Name%_vmpreplica”, where “%Machine_name%” is the original VM name which is
being replicated, and “_vmpreplica” is the Replica name's Suffix. If a VM with such a name already
exists, you'll get a warning prompting you to change the name suffix.

Upon making the selection, click Next to proceed to the next step.
