Remove a Recovery Plan
You can remove a recovery plan if you no longer need it. Removing a recovery plan also deletes the history of
the plan.

Export the history of the recovery plan. Removing a recovery plan also deletes the history of the plan.
Procedure
1 Click Recovery Plans.
2 Right-click the plan that you want to remove, and select Remove Recovery Plan.
Test a Recovery Plan
When you test a recovery plan, you use a test network and a temporary snapshot of replicated data at the
recovery site. No operations are disrupted at the protected site.
Testing a recovery plan runs all the steps in the plan with the exception of powering down virtual machines
at the protected site and forcing devices at the recovery site to assume mastership of replicated data. If the plan
requests suspension of local virtual machines at the recovery site, they are suspended during the test. A test
makes no other changes to the production environment at either site.
