Quick VM recovery
Posted: Jun 19, 2023 3:57 pm
Hi,
Is there a way to automatically (job) create a cold backup of a VM that can be manually spun up when desired? I've been looking at failover and CDP but both require 2 clusters. I have one cluster with 2 hosts (plus a third non cluster host used for surebackup + cloud). I don't really need full HA ability, but I do want to be able to start up the VM (well actually several of them) quickly. I would like to be able to create these cold backups frequently (every hour).
