                A Virtual Lab requires a host on which to run virtual machines (VMs), and a datastore to store disk changes produced while
                running a VM from a backup file. An isolated virtual lab network is automatically created based on the production network
                selected to be mirrored in the&nbsp;lab.<br />
                VMs in the isolated virtual lab network are accessible from the production network through a&nbsp;helper proxy appliance that
                is automatically configured and deployed to the&nbsp;selected host as part of Virtual Lab creation.

            <img src="cmdimg/add_appgroup.png" alt="" /><span class="wrap_text"><span class="title">Add Application Group</span>
                An Application Group defines virtual machine (VM) dependencies by specifying the required boot order of VMs supporting a
                given application or service. An&nbsp;Application Group typically includes a domain controller, a&nbsp;DNS server, and a&nbsp;DHCP server
                (unless static IP addresses are used).<br />
                All VMs in the Application Group selected for a&nbsp;given SureBackup job are started in the specified order and remain running
                until the&nbsp;SureBackup job finishes.
            </span></a>

        <a href="surebackup_single_platform.html?cmd=CreateSbJob" class="a_block">
            <img src="cmdimg/add_surebackup_job.png" alt="" /><span class="wrap_text"><span class="title">Add SureBackup Job</span>
                To set up a SureBackup job, select the Application Group containing the core infrastructure services that the&nbsp;virtual machines
                (VMs) to be run in the Virtual Lab are dependent on, and specify which backup jobs you want to use.<br />
                While the&nbsp;SureBackup job runs in recovery verification mode, all VMs from the selected backup jobs are started and verified
                one by one. When the SureBackup job is initiated by a U-AIR request, only the required VM from the specified backup job(s)
                is started (in addition to the VMs in the&nbsp;specified Application Group).
            </span></a>

        <a href="surebackup_single_platform.html?cmd=GoToSbJobs" class="a_block">
            <img src="cmdimg/run_job.png" alt="" /><span class="wrap_text"><span class="title">Run SureBackup Job</span>
                To start a SureBackup job against the latest backup, go to the Jobs node in the Backup & Replication tree tab, select and
                start the job. To start a&nbsp;SureBackup job against an earlier restore point, use the Start To command and select the desired
                date and time.<br />
                For each SureBackup job run, a new session is created listing all processed virtual machines (VMs). Clicking a running VM
                in the&nbsp;session details window opens the&nbsp;VM console. Right-clicking a&nbsp;VM provides options to restart the VM or invoke an
                Application Item Recovery wizard (available for certain VM roles only).
