Replicate the backup in Veeam 6

Post by alex_ilie »

Hi. Is it possible to replicate the backup taken in Veeam 6 on another veeam 6 server. How? When i try to create a replication job all i get is to replicate the vms on another host. I do not want this. I want to replicate the backup to another veeam server. Is it possible? Thank you!

Alexandru, you can use File Copy job to copy backup files to another location. However, consider that this type of jobs does not support incremental runs. Btw, what do you want to replicate the backups for? Do you want to have them offsite or for the purpose of importing to another Veeam server?

I'm saying that you cannot use replication jobs for it. If you are looking for some best practices for backing up offsite, please search our forums for numerous existing discussions on that subject: http://forums.veeam.com/search.php?keyw ... ackup+best

Most customers seem are having good results with rsync (search this forum for rsync). Thanks.

We are using SuperFlexible file Synchronizer wich is great, but we were thinking to use just Veeam. Thank you anyway.

Hi Alex,

Do you want to copy your replication jobs from one server to another one, or you want to copy the backup data from one veeam server to another one?
If you want to copy the backup data, you can use multiple Windows tools, like FastCopy, Rsync, SyncToy, etc...However to copy the backup jobs, since the jobs are stored within the SQL server i think that you need to use some SQL server tool to make a export of the database and import it into the new SQL server.

I never did this and i don't know if this is correct/possible to do, so confirm it with Veeam support.

Thanks,
Bruno
