Processing Settings
To specify processing settings:
- At the Backup Preferences step of the wizard, select the object and click Edit.
- By default, Veeam Backup & Replication backs up data from a selected secondary node of a replica set. If this node becomes primary, Veeam Backup & Replication selects another secondary node. If you want Veeam Backup & Replication to back up data from the primary node, select the Allow data processing from the primary node check box. In this case, Veeam Backup & Replication will continue backing up data from the node even if it becomes a primary member of a replica set.
- If necessary, specify which nodes Veeam Backup & Replication must prefer as a backup source:
- Select Select the preferred node automatically if you want Veeam Backup & Replication to prefer secondary nodes of a replica set that correspond to requirements described in Backup Source Selection.
- Select Specify the preferred node and select the node in the drop-down list if you want Veeam Backup & Replication to prefer a certain node of a replica set. The drop-down list contains all computers that you added to the backup scope at the Computers step of the New Protection Group wizard.
If you specified the preferred node but this node becomes unhealthy or unreachable, you can instruct Veeam Backup & Replication to switch to the automatic node selection. To do so, select the Fail over to automatic selection if the specified node becomes unavailable check box.
