If you are looking for the most simplified snapshot as a backup solution, or if you're looking for a solution to eliminate the backup I ops on primary storage and want to save the network bandwidth, you are in the right place, you can achieve all this and even more with V M pure storage snapshot integration. This video will navigate you on how to perform VM pure storage snapshot and replication job.

A universal storage integration for pure storage has various options such as backing up primary application, performing volume snapshots of applications and provision to replication the snapshot to another site. And it can furthermore protect you from the ransomware attacks with safe mode enabled either on primary storage area or on replica target.

What does asynchronous replication means in pure storage, asynchronous replication leverages purity snapshots snapshot is created on the source and that snapshot is transferred to the replica site. The first transfer known as known as baseline is a complete transfer of the entire contents of the volume. After the baseline copy is performed,
01:10
the replication process performs incremental transfers by identifying the change data in baseline and next snapshot. What do you need to run a VM replication job for VM to run the replication job, you would need to install V M version 12 and need to install V M plug in version two for pure storage to successfully configure the replication, review the requirements for

replication at pr storage dot com. Once you have the replication set up successfully, you would need to configure a snapshot only job on the server and then select the option to configure the secondary storage for the job. For example, in this configuration to perform a snapshot replication job, select the configure secondary destination.

And in the next step, select pure storage flash, add a replication as an option from the list and you set the retention time on the replica target for the snapshots. Once the job is successfully configured and executed, the V B R server will detect the a sync replication relationship of the volume on flash a protection group and, and it will perform the snapshot on the primary array and will transfer the snapshot to the

replica site. This is how you can simply set up the snapshot replication job for pure storage volume snapshot from recovery on VM server. You can perform instant recovery of the virtual machines from the snapshot from the replica site via simply browsing the replication target and looking for the incoming replication container on storage infrastructure.

You can also convert the snapshot on the replica target to a volume and can be exposed exposed as a volume and can be converted as a data store directly to V spare with VM pure storage snapshot replication integration. You have a path to recovery in case of any disaster recovery situation. Thanks for watching this video.
