Offsite replication to branch office

Post by Damian Netspeed »

Hi
Is it a requirement to have a backup proxy at both source and destination sides when doing offsite replication ?
I am looking at setting up replication for a single host with 2 VMs, also will anything change in V9 ?

Damian, it is not a requirement but rather a strong recommendation. In case of proxies running at both sides, replication traffic will be compressed, which can significantly speed the process up in case of slow links. In case you can meet your backup window without having proxy at destination site, you can go with just a single default proxy installed on Veeam B&R console.

Thanks for the quick reply foggy. Problem is the additional MS licences required. I will try it without and see how it goes.

If you have any existing Windows machine at target location, you can use it as proxy.

settings this up today. trying to work out whats the best way to seed ? If I have the VMware host onsite can I run a replica to the host and then move the host to the new site ? Again, I am not using a proxy at the destination side initially

Yes, you can either seed the job and then move the host to remote location or make the backup first, transfer it to remote site and seed replica from the backup there.
