Backup network for HyperV

Question

Hello Team,

I have a quick question,

Let's assume i have a hyperV cluster with 2 nodes, each node has 2 NICs (One for production, and the other for backup),

I want to backup that cluster with veeam, and i want to force the backup to use the backup network.

If i add the cluster directly from veeam (The cluster has an ip on the production network), the backup will be transmitted on the production network.

How can i add the Cluster to veeam, and force it anyway to use the backup network ? anyway did it before? thanks

Hello,

To define networks for data transfer, you must create a list of preferred networks. When Veeam Backup & Replication needs to transfer data, it uses networks from this list. If a connection over preferred networks cannot be established for some reason, Veeam Backup & Replication will automatically fail over to the production network.

To set a network priority list:

1.From the main menu, select Network Traffic Rules.

2.In the Global Network Traffic Rules window, click Networks.

3.In the Preferred Networks window, select the Prefer the following networks for backup and replication traffic check box.

4.Click Add and select IPv4 or IPv6 network. Note that you can add the IPv6 network only if the Enable IPv6 communication check box is selected. For more information, see IPv6 Support.

5.[For the IPv4 network] Specify a network address and a subnet mask using a CIDR notation and click OK.

6.[For the IPv6 network] Specify a network address and prefix length using a CIDR notation and click OK.
