Continue replication with rebuilt target host

[DanielJ]

A customer replicates a very large vm between two Hyper-V hosts. Now the target host storage will be rebuilt and the paths to the disk files (which are spread out over different volumes) will be changed. Is it enough to update the disk file pointers in the job, and it will just continue to work?

I can report that it didn't just continue to work. Even though all vm files were still found in the same directories as before, VBR claimed that it could not find the replica. I had to "reseed" the job with the existing replica. It took several hours of recalculating digests, but then it continued to work normally.

Hi Daniel

Thank you for sharing your feedback of the host rebuilt.

Best,
