Claim:
1. A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to cause a computing system to: detect a failure associated with a first storage location on which a first agent virtual computing instance (VCI) is deployed, wherein the first agent VCI is being executed by a first hypervisor; stop the execution of the first agent VCI; determine whether a second agent VCI that provides services analogous to the first agent VCI is being executed by a second hypervisor and is deployed on a second storage location; create a linked clone of the second agent VCI on the second storage location responsive to a determination that the second agent VCI is being executed by the second hypervisor and is deployed on the second storage location; redeploy the first agent VCI on the second storage location responsive to a determination that the second agent VCI is not being executed by the second hypervisor or is not deployed on another storage location; and delete files of the first agent VCI from the first storage location after the failure is corrected.
