Replication Hardware CPU Requirement

[kurt]

We currently have three vmware hosts with AMD processors. I'm planning to install a replication server in another building.

Q1: Does the replication server require veeam licenses or only the 3 servers that we're backing up?

Q2: Can the replication server have Intel processors?

A1: Only three VMware hosts running protected VMs require Veeam licenses.

A2: Yes. The beauty of virtualization!

Cool. Thanks

A couple more questions came up if you don't mind.

Q3: Is it possible to replicate the vcenter server?

Q4: Should the replication server be added to my current vcenter environment?

Thanks

[Gostev]

A3: Yes.

A4: I personally think it is not wise to have a disaster recovery product components running in the environment it is protecting.
