Hello,
I want to execute DR on a test cluster. After recovering the backup on the test cluster, I want to restore the applications on the test cluster. Once the test is finished, I want to take the backup of applications that I restored on the test cluster and switch back to my original cluster with the backup of application, I took on test cluster.
Could you please tell me how on my original cluster, I can have backup data from the test cluster where I executed Disaster Recovery?
Thanks!

Why do you want to restore the DR from the test cluster back to production? You can do the restores on another cluster and it will not affect the original backup setup. So the test cluster won’t take ownership of the Location profile.
cheers
Hello
Hello, You mean thath when your applications are running on the DR site that is the produciotn site. But when the rel Producion site is again available, you want to return back from DR to Production with the new changes you did on the data. It is much interesting for me, I follow this post.

You could retore the DR cluster in isolation and leave the Production running, then test your application, once finished shutdown. If for some reason you can’t do that then you would need to backup the DR cluster to your S3 and do a DR restore back to the original cluster. That is a lot of work. This is not replication like in Veeam where you can failback to production.
I would still opt to the first option if you can.
Hello! I will check if I can make backup of DR cluster to nfs server and create DR policy on DR cluster to restore back the original cluster.
If my original cluster contains 40 backup polices and on the DR cluster I restore only 5 applications. In that case, the backup of DR cluster should contain all remaining policies to restore back to original cluster?
Hello! Can’t we import/export/restore between two clusters using Import Policy instead of DR?
