You can protect your VMs with the disaster recovery service (DRaaS).
Zerto will not protect certain VM configurations.
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
