Auto-Recovery Conversion from VMware to Azure AVS

Good Day Community,

Few questions regarding Auto Recovery from VMware to Azure AVS (Azure VMware Solution).

First, I do not see clearly on the documentation site if Auto-Recovery supports VMware to AVS replication (although it is VMware to Vmware (theoretically), I’d still like to validate if it is supported.

Second, will the restore still be an incremental restore.

Thisrd, if the customer decides to go with Auto-Recovery between VMware and standard Azure VMs instead of AVS, will the restore still be an incremental restore.

Many thanks in advance for your kind help.

Hello @Carl Brault 

The following goes over the supported platforms you can replicate between:

https://documentation.commvault.com/2023e/essential/cross_platform_feature_support_for_auto_recovery.html

 

There should be no reason they are not Incremental replication irrespective of the source and destination as long as it is a valid target.

Hi Albert,

 

Thanks for the response. Yes, I’ve seen that page. But the problem is that it does not mention neither AVS (Azure VMware Solution) nor VMC (VMware Cloud) on AWS.

I know it works for VMC on AWS, as I’ve deployed it in the past. And I understand that it is VMware so it should be the same as VMware to VMware. 

But someone told me in the past that AVS (Azure had limitation to their APIs to a point where auto-recovery might not work. 

Thus the reason why I try to find confirmation that this will work, and will be supported.

I don’t know if you have access to any Commvault official material confirming my point.

Thanks in advance.

As you said AVS is basically VMware, The specific limitations for AVS are documented here
