Recipe: Perform an Commit Failback for a replicated VM

Expected deliverables:

When you commit failback, you confirm that the VM to which you failed back (the production VM) and also changes sent to it during failback work as expected. After the commit operation, Veeam resumes replication activities for the production VM.

Time to complete: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• Virtual Machine to be recovered must have been replicated with a Veeam Replication Job successfully at least once.
• VM replicas must be in the Failback state.

Before you start:

A Commit Failback is one of the ways to finalize failback. Other option is to run an Undo Failback.

Assumptions:

It’s assumed that you already have a Veeam Backup Server fully working in your environment.

Method:

1. Go to the Home View.
2. In the inventory pane, navigate to the Replicas > Active node.
3. Right-click one of the selected replicas and click ** Commit failback**.
