In this article
If the source host and the target host are located in the same site, you can perform onsite replication.
Onsite replication requires the following replication infrastructure components:
- Backup proxy. In the onsite replication scenario, the source-side Data Mover Service and the target-side Data Mover Service are started on the same backup proxy. The backup proxy must have access to the backup server, source host, target host and backup repository holding replica metadata.
- Backup repository for storing replica metadata.
In the onsite replication scenario, Veeam Backup & Replication does not perform data compression. Replication traffic is transferred uncompressed between the two Data Mover Services started on the same backup proxy.
