Site replication

[Sharon37]

Hi all, i have a question.

On site A i have two servers- one is a production server and the other one is a replica, and veeam is installed on a vm running on that replica server. We installed another server on a datacenter - site B.

The question is - do i need to install veeam as well on the server on site B or can i use veeam on the replica server on site A to replicate vm’s to that site B server?

You can just use Veeam Backup & Replication to replicate it.

Hello,

Technically, it's not necessary to install one more instance of Veeam B&R server and you can manage everything by the one installed on the site A. Although, if my understanding is correct, you're going to replicate workloads from the site A to the site B. In this case, it would be better to install Veeam B&R on the site B to provide seamless failover operations and get rid of necessity to spin up a new Veeam B&R in case of the full disaster with production site. You may also refer to this best practices guide for more details.

Thanks!
