Planning to implement pve-zsync to do regular (routine) off-site VM replication, and it looks like I understand all my backup steps but can’t figure out the recovering steps:
It says, first, I need to disable the replication for VM. Ok, that's understandable.
Then, I can “send the VM or Dataset to the selected target”, and this is a maze for me. Why should I do the zfs send when I already have VM data replicated so I can run VM on backup host with this very data (replicated one), righht? If I’ll do zfs send then I’ll use x2 space and I’ll have to wait for the send process.
Please advice, what should I do when first (the sending one) host become “down” and I have to run VM copies on second (receive) host?
And, as I run VMs on second host, how will I can have replication in reversed direction when first host become ok and online? Reestablish it from 2nd host to 1st one manually?
