For example in the case of Crypto virus and variants, having a good replica can save your butt.
Steps:
Steps:
- From vCentre, shut down the messed up VM in your production environment
- In Veeam, go to Replicas - Ready, and hopefully you will find the machine in question and the restore point will be recent (but before s*** hit the fan)
- Right click and "Failover Now", choose the correct restore point. Your machine will now power on in your DR environment and you'll find it under Replicas - Active.
- At this point the VM can be used by users while you restore the other one from backup, or...
- At a more appropriate time, you can "Failback" to return your Replica to the Production Cluster/Host (this will incur a downtime, length depends on the number of changes made to the VM while running in this mode).
- Failback will either "merge" the VM to the oriignal or you can choose to Merge it to a different VM if you restored it somewhere else.
- Users can still work until the VM powers off, it will remain powered off until disks are merged.
- Once this is done it will power on automatically in the Production environment, at which point you can...
- "Commit Failback" to return to normal.
