How to restore from DataDomain replica

[aidechoute]

Hi all,

I have Veeam B&R V8.
The job send the backup on a DataDomain Repository (CIFS). When the backup are on it, a replication will copy it on another DataDomain.

I want to know if it's possible to restore some data from the DataDomain wich have the replicated backup.

For example:
I backup on DD1
DD1 replicate to DD2
DD1 have an issue and is unavailable, I want to make a restore at this time....How to restore from the backup files on DD2??

Thanks for your help

Hi,
Yes, it`s possible to restore from replicated backup. You need to import backups for that.
You can also restore specific files.
Thanks.

In our environment we have nightly Veeam Backups occurring at our primary site and saved on the Data Domain. The backups are then replicated from our Data Domain to another Data Domain which is at our Disaster Recovery site. I cannot figure out how to have Veeam restore our backups from the replicated copy at the Disaster Recovery site in the even our primary site is down. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi,

Please see Nikita's reply. Also I would recommend using Veeam Backup Copy job, since DD replication is not recommended or supported.

Thanks

Hi,

we used the same configuration with 2 DataDomains with the integrated DataDomain-Replication Process.
Backup-Copy Jobs by Veeam are too slow to replicating the daily Backup-Data.
This behaviour is in fact a technical issue by design.

Back to your question.
First you must configuring the secondary replication mtree on your Destination-DataDomain as an CIFS/SMB-Share.
Afterwards you integrated this Share as new Backup-Repository with option CIFS-Share + activating Import automatic Backup-Data
Finaly you have under the point "Disk (imported)" your Backup-Data (read-only)
