we have initiated veeam replication job from pr site to dr site and failover to dr site,at dr site after failover we imported vm to VCD and renamed vm to new one and makes changes to replica on VCD,after this we failback to production and commit failback,but changes done on dr site vm are not showing up on pr site vm, what could be the possible issues.

veeam replication job failover and failback
Best answer by Chris.Childerhose
VCD uses the same vm from vcenter,so changes made to vcd vm should reflect on replica vm on dr site?
Yes it uses the same VM but when you import it to VCD I believe the UUID changes which would cause a problem for Veeam.
+21If I was to guess it is the import to VCD that is causing the issue as there are other changes being done that Veeam may not track. I have not done this so I could be way off but this is only an assumption.
Not sure if the documentation helps here - https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/userguide/failover_failback.html?ver=13
