Protecting the actual VBA appliance and DR question.

[lando_uk]

Hi

Do we need to protect the actual VBA appliance? Maybe use Native AWS backup? Snapshots before for applying updates?

Unlike the standard VBR setup, I don't see any scheduled config database backup/export option, from the outside it doesn't look that easy to recover.

In a DR event, where all you had was the S3 bucket with all your backups, how would you to go about recovering from this?

cheers

The appliance is snapshotted every day which you can use to recover the appliance if needed. You can find more information in this KB.

The VBA appliance is automatically protected. During deployment there are cloud watch roles placed to make sure the appliance stay up and also takes a snag every 12 hours.
