Disaster Recovery - Best Solution

[jmrapa]

Hi,

We are an MSP company, and we use Veeam for backups.

We currently have a client who requires a disaster recovery location just in case something happens to his premises.

We have 1 physical host server with multiple VMs (DC, SQL, terminal, file server, etc.) in a Hyper-V environment.

Our intentions are to replicate the VMs to the cloud using Azure, OVH, Hetzner or any other cloud provider, and set up the necessary network environment for users to connect when disaster strikes via VPN.

Would like to know the best practice on how to set this up and the procedure.

Hi jmrapa, welcome to the forums.

You can do restores direct to Azure to assist with this plan. Direct replica from one hypervisor to another/public cloud is not possible at this time, but if the target is a hosted VMware or HyperV solution you control, then a normal Replica job can be used to maintain replicas.

Similar recovery narratives can be performed with Veeam Agent for Windows/Linux, though the recovery will require either booting from the recovery media, or exporting disks (VHDX or VMDK) from backup and attaching those to VMs.
