From-scratch recovery test of Vault backups

[rschols]

I’m looking for the officially supported or recommended way to perform a clean-room recovery test of backups stored in Veeam Data Cloud Vault.

The goal is to restore on a completely separate VBR server (fresh installation) so we can verify Vault access and the encryption keys, without relying on the production backup server’s configuration database.

A Vault is assigned to a specific VBR server. Can I add a second VBR server there? Or will backup chains survive a temporary re-assignment of the Vault back and forth between VBR servers?

Hi rschols,

V13.1 supports adding immutable object storage as “read-only” to a second backup server for DR testing.

VDC Vault is also supported (except VDC Vault Archive).

Best,
Fabian
