I have setup a Veeam 5.x Backup job of a complete ESX1 to a remote disaster site (GB connection) eg. another building.
This works great, but when i started to also replica the hole ESX1 to the same server using another LUN
the backup job also would backing up the _replica VM's - And also next replication would replica _replica_replica VM's
Tried to exclude VM, and that worked, and there is an option to exclude template, works ok.
Tried also to exclude LUN's from backing up, but that did'nt work.
How to then exclude _replica from both backup and replications jobs?
Also, wanted to take a replication and recreated the Resource Pool on with the same structure on a new rescource pool.
Eg. Replicate "Production Pool" would create a "Replication Disaster Pool" with "Production Pool" and machines under it.
Thank for a great product. And hope for some answers.
Regards
Owe Bernt

Re: How to exclude _replica from jobs
If you are placing your replicas in specific VM folder, or on specific datastore, then you can just exclude that container object in job exclusions... this way, any new replicas will be excluded automatically. Or, are you saying datastore exclusion did not work for you?

Re: How to exclude _replica from jobs
Thanks for reply, it works now.
Job exclusions works, if the _replica vm's is manual moved to an separate resource pool (eg. called Disaster)
The desination for replication can be specified by esx host and datastore,
but i miss the option to automaticaly make the new _replica appear in a default Veeam Disaster resource pool.
When you have 100 of machines and then create a replication job to the same host in a different storage
You have to manual move each machine after the first replication to Disaster Pool.
And also if the resource pool is devided into several business units
it would be great that the replica job is also re-creating those resource pool in the job.

Great! Yes, we are planning to add resource pool selection and other options to replication wizard in the next release.
