1. A method of replicating a virtual machine, the method comprising:

  • with a source client computing device comprising one or more hardware processors and one or more secondary storage computing devices comprising one or more second hardware processors,receiving an instruction to replicate a virtual machine (VM) residing on the source client computing device;

    performing a backup of first data associated with the VM residing on the source client computing device;

    performing a backup of first non-persistent memory associated with the VM residing on the source client computing device;

    transmitting the backup of the first data and the backup of the first non-persistent memory for storage in one or more secondary storage devices;

    receiving an instruction to restore the VM to a destination client computing device;

    retrieving the backup of the first data and the backup of the first non-persistent memory from the one or more secondary storage devices; and

    transmitting the backup of the first data and the backup of the first non-persistent memory to the destination client computing device such that a replicated version of the VM resides on the destination client computing device.
