Hi,

we do backups from our on premise VMs and some physical servers (agentbased). Backups are going to be offloaded to S3 and Glacier useing capacity and archive tier. Anything is working fine.

In case of desaster, we plan to recover the backups on aws as ec2 in a vpc. We could also use vmc on aws. But because of our host limit of 2 nodes, this will not be practicable.

 

Is there a way of automatic recovery tests, veeam orchestrator for example, to aws? Or is there even a better option? Ideal would be a daylie updated ec2 environment. 

Fallback would be, do backup from ec2 and recover as vm. If this would be possible.

You could look in to SureBackup jobs for testing recoverability.  This allows you to run a job that will test to ensure the servers in your backups are recoverable.  See here -

SureBackup Job - Veeam Backup Guide for vSphere

You would need to set up an Application Group and Virtual Lab to run the SureBackup job properly for testing.

Hi, thats not really what I am looking for. We are already useing SureBackup for verfications. Thats fine.

We need a real desaster recovery environment. Veeam Orchestrator might be interessting for this part. The big question is, is Veeam Orchestrator able, to do restores on ec2 or azure instances? Replicas to ec2 or Azure from Backupfiles stored in S3 or Blob would be really needed in our case. 

Its more a kind of  that, what AWS CloudEndure does.

Hi @Hartmut , by my knowledge, Veeam Orchestrator is only possible for a vSphere environment.

Hhhmm - maybe using an api call on the pre scripts in Veeam Orchestrator. 

Is it possible to start a vbk restore as ec2 by useing veeam api? It would put this in a pre script for veeam orchestrator. 

 

Based on the documentation for VAO it is vSphere based only - System Requirements - Veeam Availability Orchestrator User Guide

So unsure it will work with EC2 unless  you can connect it to a VBR server deployed in EC2 maybe??  Never worked with VAO but will be getting it deployed to play with.
