About Instant Cloud Recovery
Backup Exec users get Disaster Recovery powered by Azure Site Recovery. You can set up the Microsoft Azure infrastructure in Backup Exec that helps you save time and additional costs.
You can monitor the health of virtual machines that are managed from Azure Site Recovery. You can independently day-to-day monitoring of virtual machines from the Backup Exec console.
Instant Cloud Recovery helps you enable replication for your on-premises virtual machines (VMware and Hyper-V), whose hosts are configured with Azure Site Recovery. If an outage or failure occurs, you can failover the replicated virtual machines to Azure to ensure that they are available for business operations.
