Backup & Replication PVE - Disaster recovery plan

[oattisan]

HI,
I would like to know what is the ideal solution for replicating the VMs from site A to site B
Is there official Veeam support for replication or can we use rbd-mirror (or something else)?
Are there any instructions or guides to follow?

Thank you.

Hello, posted on pbs thread but for DR i assume it may be more on pve and design of infrastructure.

veeam still didn't support replication (but they work on that).

Depending of your storage solution, ceph for example you can replicate pool(rdb and vm/lxc config files.

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Ceph_RBD_Mirroring

it's a async solution.

You can also config a streched pve/ceph between both site, if latency is ok (constrain more linked to corosync here), and got a very robust solution , it's more than a DR here. We are in streched cluster design, yet i only tested on lab in nested env with 11 pve (5+5+1)

If you use zfs you can setup replication based on it (async solution)

Based only on PBS you can use replication between primary PBS and secondary one (don't forget key on remote if you encrypt your backup) and you can script restore after replicate on secondary site. (async solution)
