Limitations for Cloud Connect Replication

In this article

    Veeam Backup & Replication has the following limitations for cloud host usage:

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. 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.
    5. 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.
    6. Pick datastore option is not supported for replication jobs targeted at the cloud host.
    7. A tenant can restore VM guest OS files from a VM replica on the cloud host only to a Microsoft Windows file system.
