Claim 12:
13. A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:
generating, by a cloud instantiation of a secondary storage system, a plurality of cloud instantiations of a user virtual machine according to a policy;
causing the plurality of cloud instantiations of the user virtual machine to be maintained in a standby mode;
determining that a deploy condition has been satisfied; and
in response to determining that the deploy condition being satisfied:
receiving a selection of a first cloud instantiation of the plurality of cloud instantiations of the user virtual machine; and
causing the first cloud instantiation of the user virtual machine to be deployed; and

performing, 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.
