Limitations for Cloud Connect Replication
In this article
Veeam Backup & Replication has the following limitations for cloud host usage:
- Every tenant can perform one replication job targeted at the cloud host simultaneously. Parallel processing is not supported. For example, if the tenant starts a replication job while another replication job is running, the second replication job will be put on hold until the first job completes and will run only after that.
- Veeam Cloud Connect does not support parallel data processing. Within a replication job, several VMs and VM disks are always processed sequentially, one by one.
- Veeam Cloud Connect Replication does not support DHCP. To allow a VM replica on the cloud host to be accessible over the network after failover, a replicated VM must have a static IP address.
- Automatic network settings detection is supported for Microsoft Windows VMs only. For cloud replication of non-Windows VMs, a tenant should specify network mapping settings and public IP addressing rules manually.
- A tenant cannot specify Re-IP rules for VM replicas on the cloud host. At the process of the replication job configuration, if a tenant selects the Re-IP option and then selects the cloud host as a replication target, Veeam Backup & Replication will disable the Re-IP option.
- Pick datastore option is not supported for replication jobs targeted at the cloud host.
- A tenant can restore VM guest OS files from a VM replica on the cloud host only to a Microsoft Windows file system.
