Recovery Point – To ensure that you can revert back to some specific recovery point, you can
perform granular validation of just the selected recovery points (they don’t have to reside within one
archive).

After selecting the validation item type, define the backup location. You can either specify a location
or location and an archive in order to retrieve the list of recovery points. If you are validating a
recovery point, the selected archive or location will be scanned for recovery points included there.
This is needed in order to pick up the recovery point(s) to be validated. Depending on the selected
validation item type, some controls will be disabled (for example, you will not see the list of recovery
points if you validate a location or archive).

You can see a tree-list of the virtual machines included in all archives stored in the selected location
and select any of these virtual machines by moving them to the Selected Virtual Machines section. In
the Selected Virtual Machines section you can see a list of the selected virtual machines with their
available recovery points, i.e. point in time which contains a particular machine state. The recovery
point can be selected by clicking on it.

To complete the validation task creation wizard, you must set the task name. Note that [ ] { } ; , .
symbols are not allowed for the task name.

New Validation Task. What to validate. Recovery point.

After clicking on the Run Now button, the selected items will be validated and you will see the
progress of your newly created validation task in the Tasks view. You will see its result in the
Dashboard view and in the Show Logs view.
