-# Orchestration Versioning
+# Orchestration Versioning (preview)
 
 A key area to consider when using a durable orchestration system is how to handle the upgrading/downgrading of orchestrations. When an orchestration is interrupted and later resumed (for instance, during a host update), Durable Task Scheduler will replay the events of the orchestration. This is done to ensure reliability - the system replays to ensure all previous steps were executed successfully before the next step is taken - which is a core promise of the durable execution paradigm. So, if an orchestration changes between deployments, the steps it takes may no longer be the same. If this does happen, the system will throw a `NonDeterministicError` instead of allowing the orchestration to continue.

 Vaulted backup uses platform capabilities such as snapshots and object replication to copy data to the Backup vault. Object replication asynchronously copies block blobs from a source storage account to a destination backup storage account, including the blob's contents, versions, metadata, and properties.  
 
-When you configure protection, Azure Backup sets up a destination storage account within the Backup vault and applies an object replication policy at the container level for both source and destination accounts. During backup, Azure Backup places a recovery point marker on the source account and tracks its replication. After the marker is replicated to the destination, the recovery point is created.
