Retrying Cloud Director Replication Jobs

The retry option is necessary when a VMware Cloud Director job fails and you want to retry this operation again. When you perform a retry, Veeam Backup & Replication restarts the same procedure only for the failed VMs added to the vApp and will not process VMs that have been processed successfully. As a result, the replication job will take less time and will not consume as many resources as when processing a whole vApp.

1. Open the Home view.
2. In the inventory pane, navigate to the Jobs > Replication node.
