Veeam FLR on a CDP replica

Post by Luca82 »

Hi everyone, I have a question. As I see, the file level restore as well as other features (sure replica, planned failover, cloud connect) doesn't work on CDP replica. My question is: if I schedule a long term retention policy on a CDP job (so with snapshot, application consistency and so on...) can I use FLR and that features on that restore points?
Thank you

Hello,
long term retention always exists with CDP. It's _not_ a snapshot.

If you do the classic replication, that would still work, yes.

Best regards,
Hannes

Thank you, but I'm a bit confused. With Long Term retention I can configure an application consistent backup, and it uses a snapshot.
When you say "if you do the classic replication" what you mean? You schedule a CDP job and a Replication job on the same machine?

Hello,

CDP does _not_ use snapshots :-) I recommend checking out with support where that snapshot comes from (please post the case number for reference).

With classic replication I mean this: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=110

Yes, CDP and replication can be scheduled on the same machine.

Best regards,
Hannes

Ok CDP doesnt use snapshot. But if I click to Schedule how can it make a application consistent without the use of snapshot?

inside the VM there is still the VSS snapshot for application consistency.

I was assuming that you are talking about VMware snapshots.

Next release will be a minor one - 11a and it will bring no changes for this matter. As to the next major release, it's too early to talk about its features. Thanks!
