 1. Temporary replicas of the source disks (disks attached to the VMs in secondary region) are created with the name `ms-asr-<GUID>`, that are used to transfer / read data. The temp disks let us utilize the complete bandwidth of the disk instead of only 16% bandwidth of the original disks (that are connected to the VM). The temp disks are deleted once the reprotection completes.
 1. If the target availability set doesn't exist, a new one is created as part of the reprotect job if necessary. If you've customized the reprotection settings, then the selected set is used.

 1. The target side VM is turned off if it's running.
 1. If the VM is using managed disks, a copy of the original disk is created with an `-ASRReplica` suffix. The original disks are deleted. The `-ASRReplica` copies are used for replication.
 1. If the VM is using unmanaged disks, the target VM's data disks are detached and used for replication. A copy of the OS disk is created and attached on the VM. The original OS disk is detached and used for replication.
 1. Only changes between the source disk and the target disk are synchronized. The differentials are computed by comparing both the disks and then transferred. Check below to find the estimated time to complete the reprotection.
 1. After the synchronization completes, the delta replication begins, and a recovery point is created in line with the replication policy.

 #### Estimated time to do the reprotection
 
 In most cases, Azure Site Recovery doesn't replicate the complete data to the source region. The amount of data replicated depends on the following conditions:
