# Connect disaster recovery via Veeam Cloud Connect Replication

You can connect disaster recovery to the Selectel cloud from your On-Premises infrastructure.

To connect disaster recovery via Veeam Cloud Connect Replication, you must have Veeam Backup & Replication™ version 12.3.2.3617 or higher, or Veeam Availability Suite, deployed.

1. [Create a virtual data center](#create-virtual-data-center).
2. [Order the disaster recovery connection via Veeam Cloud Connect Replication](#order-disaster-recovery-service).
3. [Connect Veeam Backup & Replication to Veeam Cloud Connect in Selectel](/veeam-cloud-connect/connect-veeam-cloud-connect.mdx).
4. [Create a replication job](#create-replication-job).

## 1. Create a virtual data center \{#create-virtual-data-center}

Use the instructions [Create a virtual data center](/public-cloud/manage-public-cloud/create-virtual-data-center.mdx).

## 2. Order a disaster recovery connection \{#order-disaster-recovery-service}

1. In the [control panel](https://my.selectel.ru/vmware/), on the top menu, click **Products** and select **VMware-based Cloud**.
2. Go to the **DRaaS** section.
3. Select the virtual data center for which you will configure disaster recovery.
4. Specify the number of virtual machines to replicate.
5. Click **Order**.
6. We will create a ticket and send you the connection details.

## 3. Connect Veeam Backup & Replication to Veeam Cloud Connect in Selectel \{#configure-veeam-cloud-connect}

Use the instructions [Connect Veeam Cloud Connect](/veeam-cloud-connect/connect-veeam-cloud-connect.mdx).

## 4. Create a replication job \{#create-replication-job}

For more information on configuring replication jobs, see the [Creating Replication Jobs](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/hyperv/replica_job.html?ver=120) section of the Veeam documentation.

1. In the Veeam Backup & Replication panel, go to the **HOME** section.

2. Click **Replication Job** →  **Virtual machine**.

3. At the **Job** step:

   3.1. In the **Name** field, enter the job name.

   3.2. Optional: in the **Description** field, add a job description.

   3.3. Optional: if this virtual machine is already in the Veeam Cloud Connect cloud and you want to reduce traffic and speed up replication, select the **Replica seeding** checkbox.

   3.4. Optional: to enable network remapping and reduce the RPO, select the **Network remapping** checkbox.

   3.5. If the IP addressing in your cloud differs from that in the Selectel cloud, select the **Replica re-IP** checkbox.

   3.6. Click **Next**.

4. At the **Virtual machines** step:

   4.1. Click **Add**.

   4.2. Add the virtual machine for which you will connect disaster recovery.

   4.3. Click **Next**.

5. At the **Destination** step:

   5.1. In the **Host or cluster** field, click **Choose**.

   5.2. Select **Cloud host**.

   5.3. Select the Selectel provider's virtual data center.

   5.4. Optional: change the vApp and storage policy.

   5.5. Click **Next**.

6. If you selected the **Network remapping** checkbox at the **Name** step, at the **Network** step:

   6.1. Click **Add**.

   6.2. In the **Source network** field, click **Browse**.

   6.3. Select the networks in your infrastructure that will be mapped to networks in the Selectel cloud.

   6.4. Click **OK** →  **OK** → **Next**.

7. If you selected the **Replica re-IP** checkbox at the **Name** step, at the **Re-IP** step:

   7.1. Configure the addressing rules.

   7.2. Click **Next**.

8. At the **Job Settings** step:

   8.1. In the **Replica name suffix** field, specify a prefix for the virtual machine replica name.

   8.2. In the **Restore points to keep** field, specify the number of copies.

   8.3. Click **Next**.

9. At the **Data Transfer** step:

   9.1. Configure the proxy or leave the default proxy.

   9.2. Click **Next**.

10. If you selected the **Replica seeding** checkbox at the **Name** step, at the **Seeding** step, configure acceleration for initial replication for existing virtual machines.

11. At the **Guest Processing** step:

    11.1. Optional: to create consistent replicas of running virtual machines and protect guest OS applications, select the **Enable application-aware processing** checkbox; for more information, see [Application-Aware Processing](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/application_aware_processing.html?ver=120) in the Veeam documentation.

    11.2. Click **Next**.

12. At the **Schedule** step:

    12.1. Optional: to automatically run replication on a schedule, select the **Run the job automatically** checkbox and set the replication frequency.

    12.2. Click **Apply**.

13. At the **Summary** step:

    13.1. Check the job settings.

    13.2. Optional: to start replication automatically after the job is created, select the **Run the job when I click Finish** checkbox.

    13.3. Click **Finish**. The job will appear in the **HOME** → **Jobs** →  **Replications**.
