Backup & Replication

[sthurlow]

I'm looking at the possibility of using Veeam to backup AND replicate the same hosts from one site to another.

If I do so, am I sending the same data twice, or is there a smarter way to do it?

Hi,

Yes two seperate backups.. The backup will be in the form of a .vbk file and replication will be full copies of the VM so you can just power them on and away you go.

Thanks

Thanks Trevor, is it possible to backup to the remote site then use the backup to populate the replica?

Symon, no, that's cannot be done. But you can use replica seeding option not to copy the same data to another site over the WAN.
