Hi, I couldn't find this in the documentation. As I understand, the choice of Async DR vs Backup is to be made at remote site configuration. I would like to replicate some VMs for DR, and some for backup only. Is it possible to create two remote sites in a cluster pointing to the same remote site, thou allowing to have one remote site set as " Async DR" and the second one as "Backup" ?
Good morning... evening... night all over the world ^^ I'm wondering what are the technical differences between Async DR and Backup. What I've red in documentation is that Backup does not allow running the virtual machines on the remote site. This comes with many questions as I couldn't find any detailed description of the backup mechanism. As far as I understand, both works exactly the same. Only difference is that on the remote site, the backup target PD cannot be promoted to allow running of the VMs. Is this correct ? is this the only difference ? Otherwise, what are all the differences between both modes ? Any impact on the size of used on the target space ? ...
Hi, I'm still digging into Async DR functionality. As I understand, Async DR will replicate changed blocks from Site A to Site B at given interval from an active protection domain to an inactive protection domain. Let's say now, I do a Site A shutdown to test the DR processes. I therefore activate site B protection domain, register the virtual machines, and boot them. So far, so good. Now, I restart site A, and I want to fail back. I shutdown all virtual machines on site B and Site A (if any running), deactivate PD on site A, and setup replication from Site B PD to site A PD, and run a manual Sync. Does this make sense ? And will this copy only data changed since fail over occured ? or will it do a full sync ?
