Rescan Button - Veeam Replication

[Bashira786]

Hello Veeam Users .

Yesterday i upgraded my Veeam v7 to the new v8. Everything almost looks as the old one. I made a replication job yesterday, and today i want to make the "last" rescan before i shutdown the VM on the customer side before i move the machine into our hosted enviroment.

Can somebody please tell me where the "rescan" button are in the new version ?

Here is the picture for the new v8:


There used to be an Rescan button here.

Hello Bashira,

You can find a rescan button in the Infrastructure and Virual Machines views:


Also note that Veeam Backup & Replication automatically rescan servers once a day and tape servers every 3 minutes. Thanks.

Also, your use case seems to be similar to what Planned Failover functionality provides in v8. During planned failover, the customer's VMs will be shutdown, final changes will be transferred to your environment, and replica VMs is powered up. Thanks.

So if the customer shutdown the server. and i want to make the last sync. The i just need to press "Planned Failover" . If i dont want to do any actions on customer location ?

The customer doesn't even have to shutdown his VMs, as this step will be performed automatically, once you click Planned Failover button. More information can be found in the User Guide. Thanks.
