Secure Restore the Entire VM to the New Location at Veeam Backup and Replication v12

Existing jobs do not need to be updated that process the original/recovered VMs if you restore them to the same host and choose to preserve VM UUIDs. If you configure restore differently and want to process the recovered VMs, you must edit existing jobs or create new ones.

How to failback to the original virtual machine restored in a different location at Veeam Backup and Replication v12

Because Veeam Backup & Replication only needs to transfer differences between the original/recovered VM and VM replica, the failback to the original virtual machine restored in a different location option helps reduce recovery time and network traffic.

How to failback to the original virtual machine of the Production Site at Veeam Backup and Replication v12

Failback is returning operations to the primary site after a disaster recovery event. It reverses the failover process by replicating any changes made to the virtual machine during the Failover state back to the primary site and then redirecting users and applications back to the primary site.

How to Plan Failover virtual machine to Disaster Recover Site at Veeam Backup and Replication v12

Planned failover is the smooth manual switching from a primary VM to its replica with minor downtime. Planned failover is proper when you know primary VMs are planning to go offline, and you need to switch the workload from the original VMs to their replicas as soon as possible. For example, you can use planned failover to perform data center migration, maintenance, or software upgrades on primary VMs. You can also perform planned failover if you see signs of an impending disaster.

How to undo failover the virtual machine to Production Site at Veeam Backup and Replication v12

One method for completing failover is to use failover undo. When you undo failover, you return to the original VM from a VM replica. When a virtual machine replica is in the Failover state, Veeam Backup & Replication discards all changes made to the replica. This is because the Failover state is intended to be a temporary state used to restore the virtual machine to operation quickly in the event of a disaster.
