1 x Hyper-V to host B&R server + replication target?

Post by nevram »

Hello,

I have been trying to research this question however apparently my googling skills need some refinement! :)

I am currently planning our Veeam implementation in the following environment:

2 x Hyper-V hosts at the primary location. Each has 4 VMs (8 individual workloads total).

1 x Hyper-V host at a secondary location. 2 workloads total.

I am planning to add the following infrastructure:

1 x Server at the primary location.
This machine will be the local backup repository, I've read that it's best practice to keep this machine physical rather than run on a dedicated Hyper-V host. I would also like to make use of replica from backup.

1 x Hyper-V host at the secondary location.
This host will contain 1 x VM for the backup server and the remote backup repository.

My question is can I use the new Hyper-V host at the secondary location as a replication target and run VMs on there in a DR scenario? The existing host at the second location is unable to run all of the VMs in use at the primary location and I don't know if we have the budget to introduce another host.

Thanks for your help.
