Creating a Replica Task in Nakivo Backup & Replication

Continuing with Nakivo! After having the solution perfectly deployed and having performed a Backup Job, In this other post we will see how to perform a replication task! This will allow us to have our virtual machine environment fully replicated, thus in case of failure of the data center or main server, We will be able to lift the entire infrastructure in a matter of seconds!

Configurando VMware vSphere Replication 6.5

Continuing with the VMware vSphere series of posts 6.5, Today we will look at something quite important, Replicating virtual machines to our virtual infrastructure, How to protect ourselves against a disaster in our datacenter.

Initial Nakivo Backup Setup & Replication

Continuing with the deployment of Nakivo, after installing it, that you have seen that it had no mystery, or if we have deployed it on an appliance or installed on a NAS. Now, We will need to continue with an initial setup, where we will add our inventory, Transport nodes and repositories!

Personally, what I like is the replication, since the backup is given to us by VCB or VMware Data Recovery, replication can be carried out in another storage array that we have and the replicated virtual machines will be optionally placed in the VMware inventory, just like backups, We can have so many replicas […]
