Veeam disaster recovery
I spoiled this one, but the dynamically generated Readiness Check has also been updated in V4 to not only tell you if you’re meeting your CDP Replica Plan’s RPO, but also its SLA. You’ll have your disaster recovery plan ready to go in less than 10 minutes! Here’s a protip : The key here is to have your CDP jobs created in Backup & Replication first, then add the Orchestrator magic. Once you’ve created one, you’ve created them all. It is created just like any other plan in Orchestrator. The foundation, is of course, the CDP Replica Orchestration plan. Orchestrator’s magic combines with CDP in a couple of different ways. It’s so cool, that it also is fully supported by Veeam ONE, and of course Veeam Disaster Recovery Orchestrator. One of the coolest features is of course Continuous Data Protection. If you’ve been anywhere around the Internet, I’m sure you saw all of the amazing Veeam Backup & Replication V11 coverage. New in Veeam Disaster Recovery Orchestrator v4 It is simple to use, navigate, and is fully customizable. We are going to focus on the Plan Definition report, aka your DR plan. Let’s take a look at what an Orchestrator document looks like. This video shows you just how simple it is to run a DR test with VDRO in under 3 minutes.Īll About the Plan Definition Report, or Your DR Plan in Orchestrator There’s a ton more to Orchestrator, so here are some super simple demos to illustrate my point.

Veeam disaster recovery Patch#
From patch testing, to analytics, to testing changes, and providing a sandbox for new team members to break things, the possibilities are virtually endless. If that’s not enough, you can leave the copy of your production environment running after your DR test, so application teams can use it for, well, whatever they want. Best of all it will let you know if you are meeting your RTO. This will find any issues with your plan, VMs, or infrastructure so you can fix them before an actual disaster. Through the use of Veeam DataLabs, Orchestrator has the ability to test your disaster recovery plan in an isolated environment, with no impact to production. When I read the report, it let me know I had a host in maintenance mode, and encouraged me to take a look at it because well, can I really recover if my destination environment is in shambles? It will also take a look at your recovery resources and make sure they are available.Ī good example of this is when my favorite Orchestration Plan had a warning in a readiness check. It will check you RPO (and your SLA for CDP – ooops – did I spoil V4). This document can be run on a daily basis, and e-mailed to key stakeholders. You can get this piece of mind a few different ways.įirst of all, is Orchestrator’s readiness check. You need to know that if you hit the Launch button in the event of disaster, things will actually work. Recovery needs to be first of all, reliable. These are the parts of your DR plan that are absolutely terrible, and will make or break your actual recovery.
