Veeam Backup & Replication • Re: Question about disaster recovery

Hello Globatech

I copy the vbm and the vbk file to this drive.

You should let the backup server handle this copy process. Use a backup copy job and rotated disk option to copy backups to the usb disk:

My question is if we have a real DR situation what the step from there to recover the VM and/or at least the data.
If i reinstall veeam BR on a new server would i be able to read my external drive from veeam and do something with this? Is there something else i should copy to this drive...

1) install a new VBR server
2) Import the backups

If you let Veeam do the copy of the backups as recommended, you can also restore your most recent configuration backup on the new VBR server. The new backup server should then already be aware which repository has which backups. Also entire job configuration would be restored that way.

Additional information you may find useful. My colleague Hannes blogged about the process:

Best,
Fabian
