I have created Veeam v7 Backup Copy Jobs for offsite copies at a remote location.
How do I recover from these copies if I loose my primary Veeam site?
Is there a documented recovery procedure?

Re: Backup Copy Recovery
Neil, having VM backups available you will be able to set up a new Veeam B&R instance, import backups and recover VMs from them. Or you can use the standalone extract.exe utility (copied from your initial Veeam B&R installation to the backup storage) to do that, without the need to install Veeam B&R first. Thanks.

However, be aware that the said utility can process full backups only. So, full installation is still preferable. Thanks.

Re: Backup Copy Recovery
Thank you for your quick response.
Is there an easy way to have a copy of my Veeam VM at the remote site?
If we lost our primary site we would have all Veeam backup & job information at the remote site.
Recovery would be faster because we do not need to import the backups.

Re: Backup Copy Recovery
The best way to protect backup server is to use configuration backup utility. In case of disaster, you will need to install VB&R, and, then, import previously backed up configuration. Please, see this topic for more information regarding VB&R server protection. Thanks.
