Microsoft Hyper-V • Re: Some help on writing DR scenario

Hi plavielle,

To perform a failover in a disaster recovery event, from the Veeam UI you simply will start a Failover and Veeam will handle bringing up the replicas. Please note that while "manual failover" is possible it is strongly advised against as it may result in undesired behavior as per the note in the User Guide.

Regarding your concerns on the size, do you maybe have screenshots to show what you're seeing? Similarly, you can test a failover and leave the VM disconnected from the network to avoid affecting production, and it will bring up the Replica VM so that you can check and test if desired. Once you're satisfied with the results, in this case you can simply use Undo Failover.

Note however that Undo Failover does not preserve changes made on the replica -- in a real DR event where you need to ensure changes made while the replica was running are merged back to production, you would use the Failback operation.
