Manually failback manually started replica

Post by HVB-Mike »

I had a problem last week with an Exchange server and could not make the network adapter work properly. At some point I needed to get the server running again, so in great haste, I shutdown the Exchange server and using vCenter powered on the replica that is in the same domain. everything worked great until I realized that if I had only used the Veeam fail over/fail back option I would have been much better off.

My question is what is the best way to move the data back to the production host?

You can reconfigure existing replication jobs to go in reversed order (from DR to production site), map DR machines to production ones, so that, only changes will be transferred during replication cycle. Once the replication cycle is finished, perform permanent failover.

Thanks.

Don't forget to shutdown VMs and performing final changes transfer prior to permanent failover. Thanks.
