Before You Begin

In this article

Before you create a cloud failover plan, complete the following prerequisites:

VMs that you plan to include in the failover plan must be successfully replicated at least once.

You cannot select to use pre-failover and/or post-failover scripts for the cloud failover plan. As tenants' cloud failover plans and VM replicas are stored on the SP side, the responsibility to create and manage scripts lays on the SP. To use pre-failover and/or post-failover scripts, the SP must create those scripts in advance and select them in the cloud failover plan settings before you run the cloud failover plan. Veeam Backup & Replication supports script files in BAT and CMD formats and executable files in the EXE format.
