Is there a way to backup the REPLICA copy of vSphere Replication?
Thanks

Backup replica vSphere Replication

Unfortunately, I don't think so. It has been some time since I have looked at this, but vSphere replication does not attach the disks to the replica VM until the time of failover. So you essentially have a VM with no data attached, and nothing to protect. You may want to consider Commvault to replicate the VM instead, and you have three options to do that:
- Replicate from the backup data of the protected source VM
- Direct replication without first backing up the VM
- LiveSync I/O that performs very low RTO replication

+1Thanks Damian… that’s what I thought. I was hoping for something different.
Yes… I’m testing the live sync functionality at the moment
Thanks again
+1There is the VMWARE product for replication using vSphere Replication
The options given by Damian is done via Commvault
