Can Veeam replicate VMs without shared storage?

Hi guys,

Here's the scenario. We want to consolidate 2 servers onto one HV running a secondary DC, a small SQL database App server and a medium sized SQL server then replicate these VMs to another ESXi HV.
To replicate the VMs does it need shared storage in some way? Budget is a bit of a concern so if you do need shared storage what would you recommend?

Hi Connor,

Shared storage is not required at all, you can definitely use local disks as source and target datastores for your replication jobs.

Thanks!
