PowerProtect Data Manager 19.12 Cloud Disaster Recovery User Guide

Overview

This guide provides information about how to deploy and configure Cloud Disaster Recovery in PowerProtect Data Manager to back up and run disaster recovery (DR) of virtual machines.

Cloud Disaster Recovery is integrated into PowerProtect Data Manager. Cloud DR supports PowerProtect Data Manager as an on-premises backup source. This feature enables users to protect VMs by uploading VM image backups to the public cloud object storage, and run automated DR operations on those copies. This feature provides DR orchestration capabilities also. The requirement of an offsite data center is eliminated as the users can add the cloud as another cost-effective DR site using Cloud DR. From the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, you can configure Cloud DR to move backups to the cloud, and perform disaster recovery of these backups. Cloud DR in PowerProtect Data Manager supports Amazon Web Services (AWS), AWS GovCloud, Microsoft Azure, and Azure Government.

Cloud DR users can configure proxy settings in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI for communication between on premises sourced and public cloud. Both AWS and Azure support proxy configuration.
