Continous replication - testing - start replicated VM

akurzawa

Hi

I wanted to start a backup of VM made by CR backup, when I'm trying to start the vm, there an info that vm is blocked, what should I do now? force start? start a copy? the source vm is down.

also the replicated vm has funny indentation on the vm list, idk whats the purpose of that, is that indicating something?

That's normal. If you boot the replicated VMs, then blocks will be changed. It mean no further delta replication will work on this VM. Force boot it if you lost the original VM and you don't care about delta toward the copy anymore. If you just want to test the VM without doing a new full (breaking the delta chain), boot with a copy. I think I explained that in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfUqIwT8KzI
That's a display glitch.
