Todays answer
Runbooks in excel• Attempt to map processes
by IT
• Rarely engage the business
• Unknown owners and inputs
Potentially a word document• Manual updates
• Unknown relevance to real world
• Rarely tested
A new hope
“ITRO automation solutions provide improved IT service availability, recovery and integrity through the automation of application
workload failover and failback. They also provide improved data integrity and consistency between a primary production data center and a secondary recovery site, which may be an internally data center, a provider-managed
data center or a virtual data center in a public cloud.”

“As one IT service is impacted by an IT outage, it causes a chain reaction and affects the performance and/or availability of others, cascading those failures into even more systems”
Gartner 2017, Business Continuity Management and IT Service Continuity Management
Business ImpactAnalysis
What applications are critical to business operations?
What are the consequences of outage on business operations? (operational, financial, regulatory, reputation)
What are the RTOs/RPOs required to minimalize disruption?
What is the gap between recovery requirements and current capabilities?
Applications to orchestrate

Key DR Questions
Even if critical VMs are replicated to the DR site
How can we document and track our DR plan?
How do we know if something has changed in the environment or plan?
How do we test recovery without impacting production?
How do we know if something has changed in the environment or plan?
How do we know if that change will impact failover?
What sequence should be used to power on VMs?

Veeam-powered replication
Plan Readiness Check ReportConfirm that the plan configuration matches the DR environment, and therefore the plan should run successfully
The readiness check will work through every plan step to perform specific checks against each item included in the plan, ensuring:
• Replica VMs are detected and prepared for failover• vCenter Server and Veeam Backup & Replication
server are online and available• Required credentials are provided• Required step parameters are configured
Zero-impact and completes very quickly for more frequent testing
Use cases
Critical events are somewhat rare, but
use cases extend far beyond disaster…
Disaster recovery Planned migration
An outage occurs and you need to react, like a storm
or malicious event
A potential outage is planned and you need to act, like
planned maintenance
Patch & test Security audit Analytics
Analyzing data in an isolated, non-routing network copy of
production
IT security evaluations in an isolated, non-routing network
copy of production
Testing a patch in an isolated, non-routing network copy of
production
Veeam Data Labs
Isolated, non-destructive virtual environment
Production environment network configuration mirroring for real-world testing
Deploy on any ESX(i) host in your virtual environment without provisioning additional
resources
Fully fenced off for regular testing without impact to production systems

DataLabs in VAO
Create multiple test environments using VM groups, perform full application verification
including custom scripts, and generate detailed reporting
All changes made to VM replicas during a lab session will be discarded when the lab is
powered off
DataLabs may be powered on independently from failover plans, and used for other test
cases (e.g. patches, upgrades, etc.)

creating Failover Plans
VAO will automatically create a new backup job to protect the replicas as part of the failover plan
execution process
Integrate and extend
Utilize the RESTful API to integrate VAO into other BCDR systems for remote
control of DR plans, running failover and failback, and halt and undo
Create custom PowerShell scripts and execute when running a Failover Plan
Summary
Why DR orchestration is critical
RECOVERYShorten RTOs and RPOs to
recover business
operations faster
COMPLIANCEMeet corporate
and legal regulations
TIMESpend less
time manually updating DR plans and
documentation
TESTINGMore
frequently test DR plans to
prove recoverability
COSTSAvoid highly-
visible outages, costs, revenue loss and brand damage
