Azure Recovery

[mbroaders]

From what i have been reading in the forums the best performance of restore from object storage to Azure for Disaster Recovery is to have a VBR server in Azure. Would it be as simple a server in Azure with VBR installed and configured with a licence and deallocated, then when a disaster occurs, just power on the server, import backups from object storage and recover to Azure?
I am considering this for a site that will be using the object storage copy mode in Veeam.

You can actually use community edition to do this. You can deploy it in azure and connect it to blob. There is an option to right click on the object repo and select import backups. This will scan the repo and see the backups and allow you to start restoring.

Also just to mention, you don’t really need the vbr server in azure. The proxy appliance is used to p traffic in azure.

But either way is supported and it’s what you are more comfortable with.

That's brilliant thank you. My reasoning for deploying vbr is that the existing Veeam server would not be available in the event of a disaster to initiate the restore so having it ready to go should improve the speed of the process. If deployed in this manner am i correct in saying that no Public IP addresses are needed on the VBR server as all traffic remains within the Azure environment?

You are correct.. but with the azure proxy there would only need to be 443 open as the VBR would talk to the proxy over https.
