Setting up Veeam Disaster Recovery

[maxrebo]

I thought this was going to be pretty straightforward but I seem to be going round in circles

 

Setup

VMware vCenter with 3 hosts - Fully Licensed

Veeam Enterprise License

 

In Veeam I have these 3 hosts and all VM`s are backing up to a NAS without any problem

I have a spare VMware ESXI host (Where I setup a VM with a share to backup to) which I want to replicate VM`s to this (for DR Purposes).

 

When I create a replication job from the VM I can only select a destination as one of the 3 hosts and not my spare Host.

 

Am I missing something?

You need to add the host to the Backup Infrastructure part of Veeam. I'm 99.9% sure that you can't use it as a target if it's running Free ESXi, it needs something even if it's VMWare Essentials as I hit the same snag with a host used for testing.

Yep got it added there (in managed servers\standalone hosts)

Im on the licenced VMware and Veeam
