   Tip: You can filter the protection plan list by selecting the Plan Name or the Recovery Scenario options that are located above the Recovery Scenarios table.

   Note: Select a tag that contains a green accuracy flag to ensure data integrity.

   Recovery Time

   Displays the Recovery Point options. You can specify the recovery point using one of the following methods:

   • Select the tabs that specify the year, month, day, and seconds.

   • Select the option Recovery Point Accuracy to display a graphical image of the recovery period. Use the slide bars that are located under the graph to narrow down the recovery dates. To update the graphic with your changes, click Generate Graphs. Continue to adjust the Recovery Point until the graphic displays the time frame that you want.

     Note: Select a recovery time that is represented as green on the graph. Data integrity is not guaranteed when you select a recovery time that is represented by any other color, such as yellow or red.
