Best practice for Backup Repository in Hyper-V Cluster with iSCSI SAN

Post by DigiVieComm »

Hello,

We have a dedicated DR site running:

2x Dell R540 Clustered running Windows 2019 Standard
1x Dell ME4012 iSCSI
1x Clustered VM running Veeam B&R installed on Windows 2019 Standard
7x Protected data sources located on another site

We are only licensed to run a single Windows VM (in addition to the production VMs we are protecting) which is consumed by the B&R VM. What is the best practice for configuring the backup repository in this configuration?

My current plan is to configure a Hyper-V adapter on the iSCSI subnet and assign it to the B&R VM. This would make the B&R VM the backup repository, saving to the SAN. Is this the best choice for our configuration?

Hello,

The plan sounds good, you may also refer to this page of the best practices guide to get more details about block repositories, including iSCSI-based ones.

Thanks!
