Planning Disaster Recovery

With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, you can automate disaster recovery workflows for VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Amazon EC2 environments to meet all major disaster recovery planning needs. For more information about disaster recovery (DR), check the Disaster Recovery section.

The solution allows you to protect VMs running within a cluster, replicate VMs, including creation of real-time replication jobs, perform failover to replicas and replica failback operations.

You can include up to 200 actions in a single Site Recovery job, including failover, failback, start/stop VMs and instances, run/stop jobs, run scripts, attach or detach repositories, send emails, wait, and check conditions. You can check the Site Recovery page to learn more.

In case of failure, you can switch your VMware VM to its latest real-time replica by using the Real-Time Replication Failover feature. For more information on how to manage real-time replica failover jobs, see .

Any disaster recovery job can be created by combining actions and conditions into an automated algorithm.
