- B . Create a (secondary) replication job for the required VMs that are not scheduled to run; create a SureBackup job and use these replicas as the source
- C . Create a (secondary) replication job for the required VMs that are not scheduled to run; make an application group and use these replicas as the source
- D . Create an application group and leverage regular backup restore points as the source for the application group
