Failover

Post by mstapleton »

Does anyone know what the process is to get back to production if a replica has been started due to the necessity of a failover, but the process was not done through the Veeam software?

My situation: Server1 replicates to Server2 and vice versa. Server1 crashes. VM replicas on Server2 were started manually without using Veeam. Software in use is Backup and Replication 6.1.

I need to get back to production, but do not know how to do that without losing data or existing backups.

Forgot to mention...Server1 is online again and I would like to use the original vm but don't want to lose any data since the crash.

Mark, you could create replication job from the Server2 to Server1, map it to the original VMs using replica mapping, and replicate the changes occurred since failover. Then failover to the VMs on the Server1.

Hi

Replicate back to the original host, If over a slow link backup locally and seed. Could use quick migrate also.
