    Protection Group

    Select a protection group for the protected instances.

    If you create protected instances first time ever or the current protection group does not meet your requirements, click Create Protection Group to create a new one.

    It is recommended that you add servers of a specific business to the same protection group. In this case, you can run DR drills, start protection and perform failovers for the entire group.
