You can protect your VMs with the disaster recovery service (DRaaS).
Zerto will not protect certain VM configurations and this limitation is described at Zerto Documentation of unprotected_vms_learn_why.
For example, Zerto will not protect vSphere VMs that have DVDs or IDE devices.
We recommend that you protect a deployed VM when it is powered on.
Privileges: Manage VM disaster recovery protection
To protect a VM with the disaster recovery service:
Select the VM and click the shield Enable DR protection button
The platform will register the VM for disaster recovery protection and display a shield symbol on the VM icon.
You can reconfigure a VM has DR protection but you cannot move it
In the VM entity, the platform will set the VM drProtected attribute to true for use with the Abiquo API.
To stop a VM from being protected by the disaster recovery service, click the crossed shield disable DR protection button.
