Replication Failover Considerations

[jdodd6]

While setting up Veeam Replication as a primary method of disaster recovery failover for two Hyper-V clusters, there are two design issues I have been trying to plan around when creating a failover plan and process documentation.

1. Failover of the Veeam B&R server itself.
   • The plan is to restore the configuration backup to an empty PostgreSQL database on a Disaster Recovery Veeam B&R server.
2. Loss of the replication job metadata.
   • The backup repo holding the replication metadata is at the primary site. Can a Veeam replication failover take place successfully if this repo and metadata are missing?
