Secondary site backup and license

[AlessandroC]

In our primary datacenter we have succesfully deployed all the components of B&R 6.5 (trial license for now) on a Windows VM that has a local repository seen as a local disk that is in reality a VMware disk placed on a NAS datastore.

Now we would like to do exactly the same thing in our secondary datacenter located in another city but my question is: do we need to buy another license to replicate exactly the same thing there or instead we can, from our primary site B&R console, simply add a Windows Server that is in the seconday site, make him a backup proxy that has to do the backup on a repository that is a local disk placed on himself (there aswell in reality located on a NAS and seen as local disk through vmware)?

If this is possible, it should do the backup directly on his local destination without the need to pass through the other site components for backup traffic, right?

Thanks

Alessandro, you can add the remote server to your primary Veeam B&R console, install proxy and configure backup repository on it and use it to backup VMs locally in remote site. You should have license that is covering all source hosts that backed up/replicated VMs reside on.

However, I have to note, that storing backups on the VMFS volumes cannot be considered as best practice.
