Advice on Veeam and hyper v different cpu

[trw1972]

Hi all

I am looking to protect 2 physical servers with around 10 VM each, one host is intel based architecture and the other has an AMD CPU.

The plan was if one server fails i can restore the vm's to the other server.

However i know when exporting VM i have to cold migrate between the two. If, for example i back up a VM on the intel host using veeam and want to restore it to the amd based host - will it work?

Thanks.

Hi Trevor and Welcome to Veeam R&D Forums!

Yes, it must work, there are no special requirements from a CPU perspective. I suggest you refer to our release notes for system requirements, in particular page 4.

Also, if your purpose is to quickly spin up workloads in case of the production server failure, you can consider the replication job or the replica from backup. You can deploy the Veeam B&R server on the target host to ensure seamless failover when the primary server is down.

Thanks!
