Continuous Resilience: High Availability through Automated Config Backup and Restore in Veeam V12.1 Introduction: In this post of Veeam Backup and Replication Version 12.1, we'll uncover the importance of Disaster Recovery (DR) and High Availability (HA) strategies, emphasizing the role of the configuration database. While Veeam's self-describing metadata facilitates individual backup recoveries, safeguarding the configuration database ensures seamless continuity of day-to-day operations in the face of primary server failures.

Rent Infrastructure for the limited time period that the company will be testing or developing on application workloads, only pay as you use. Why purchase or keep hardware around just to run development on copies of production for the de...
