VEEAM B&R 10 Secondary Management server

[arvindkadd]

Hello All

Currently I am using VEEAM B&R10 for one of my DR projects where my management server is installed in DC and repository is also local disk and from local disk backup is copying to S3.

I want to have my secondary management server in my DR site i.e AWS and in sync with main management server, so whenever my DC goes down i will be able to manage my management server from AWS.

How this can be achieved ? Can anyone can help?

Thanks

Hello,
and welcome to the forums.

How this can be achieved ?

just do it Well, if the DR site setup is completely different (e.g. when running in AWS), then I would not try to "sync" anything. Because syncing means, that you restore the configuration from your primary backup server.

The question is, whether you really want two management servers. In most setups it's easier to just have one management server in the DR site. This one also manages production.

Best regards,
Hannes

Hello Hannes

Thanks !

whether you really want two management servers.: Yes, because currently it is my on premises DC and storage where my backup is getting stored is also in DC.

So please suggest should i setup my management server in DR site only ? if my primary storage is in DC.

Hello,
the idea is to have repository and proxy in your main data center (or any other roles if required).

Only the management server is in DR site.

The user guide describes it in detail. The advanced deployment and all components that can be deployed separately

Hi Arvind, do you mean migrating the current Veeam B&R server to DR? Then consider either replication with a Planned Failover or configuration backup and restore.
