Claim 15:
16. A system, comprising:
a processor configured to:
generate, by a cloud instantiation of a secondary storage system, a plurality of cloud instantiations of a user virtual machine according to a policy;
cause the plurality of cloud instantiations of the user virtual machine to be maintained in a standby mode;
determine that a deploy condition has been satisfied; and
in response to determining that the deploy condition being satisfied:
receive a selection of a first cloud instantiation of the plurality of cloud instantiations of the user virtual machine; and
cause the first cloud instantiation of the user virtual machine to be deployed;

perform, by the cloud instantiation of the secondary storage system, a backup of the first cloud instantiation of the user virtual machine at the cloud instantiation of the secondary storage system, wherein the first cloud instantiation of the user virtual machine is deployed based on data from the cloud instantiation of the secondary storage system that is transferred from the secondary storage system associated with a primary system, wherein the primary system previously hosted a version of the user virtual machine, wherein the deploy condition comprises the version of the user virtual machine at the primary system is unavailable or the secondary storage system is unavailable; and

a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
