multiple appliances

Thread needs solution

Hi Vasily,

I'm working on disaster recovery plan with vmprotect and I would like to see if it is possible. In case of total disaster, if all my local backup are destroyed. In order to restore everything from online storage as quick as possible, I'm thinking that, if possible, I setup vmware host and vmprotect at multiple offices (temporary). Let's say 4 office locations. Then, use vmprotect from each office to login the same online account and start restore from different backup files at the same time. After all restored, I can move all restored VM together, reinstall vmprotect and remove all the temporary installations. By restoring multiple VM from multiple office at the same time, I will have more internet bandwidth for restore and reduces the download time from the online storage. The questions are,

1. is it possible to login the same online account from different vmprotect appliances in different office locations and restore different backups at the same time? (temporary only)
2. do I have to purchase additional vmprotect license for just do the restore (as I mentioned above, it is only used for temporary)
3. does Acronis online limiting bandwidth from the same account?

Thanks,
Aldous

Hi Aldous,

1. Yes, it is possible but a bit tricky from what I have tested. You can start the recovery from the 1st appliance (wait until the data starts to transfer), then go to Configure->Online Backup Subscriptions on the 2nd appliance and activate the same subscription which was activated on the 1st appliance. Then reboot the 2nd appliance (reboot is required due to an issue with caching which I've reported to our QA team) and now you will be able to initiate the 2nd recovery.
2. No - one subscription is enough here.
3. No - there are no bandwidth limits applied to accounts.

Edit: to point number 1. Unfortunately the recovery which I started first failed in the end (when trying to finalize the recovery) and thus the restored VM got removed, so this process won't work as you described it. I've checked but there is no usable workaround here yet, so the answer is "no". :(

Thank you.

Too bad. Looks like I have no choice other than waiting for the Large scale recovery to become available.

Thanks for your help
