-# Set up disaster recovery to a secondary Azure region for an Azure VM
 
-The [Azure Site Recovery](site-recovery-overview.md) service contributes to your business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) strategy by keeping your business apps up and running, during planned and unplanned outages. Site Recovery manages and orchestrates disaster recovery of on-premises machines and Azure virtual machines (VMs), including replication, failover, and recovery.

+This quickstart describes how to set up disaster recovery for an Azure VM by replicating it to a secondary Azure region. In general, default settings are used to enable replication.
 
-> [!NOTE]
-> This article is a quick walkthrough for new users. It uses the simplest path, with default options and minimum customization. For a full walkthrough, review the tutorial [Enable replication](azure-to-azure-tutorial-enable-replication.md).
+## Prerequisites
 
-## Log in to Azure
+To complete this tutorial, you need an Azure subscription and a VM.
 
-Log in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com).

-After the replication job has finished, you can check the replication status, modify replication settings, and test the deployment.
-
-1. On the Azure portal menu, select **Virtual machines**, or search for and select *Virtual machines* on any page. Select the VM you want to verify.
-2. In **Operations**, select **Disaster recovery**.
+After the replication job finishes, you can check the replication status, modify replication settings, and test the deployment.
 
-   You can verify replication health, the recovery points that have been created, and source, target regions on the map.
+1. On the Azure portal menu, select **Virtual machines** and select the VM that you replicated.
+1. In **Operations** select **Disaster recovery**.
