The exact set could be from a single VM (with its associated resources: images, volumes, etc) to a set of entities associated with a user. The data-center itself (including its metadata and configuration) is consider the equivalent of the "hardware" - in case of disaster, you recover "what is running", not the infrastructure. Thanks for pointing out the scope should be emphasized at the top... Regards, __________________________________________ Ronen I.
