- Who creates the buckets in S3?
  
  The S3 bucket is created during the ZCA installation by Zerto. We make sure that the bucket region is created in the same region as the ZCA instance region. There is one bucket per ZCA.

I’m tempted to ask Joe if we can upload this to Github and add in more functionality later. Requirements: The VUM […]

- Could I use Veeam replicated VMs to Preseed ZVR?
  
  Yes you can. We pre-seed from disks, not VMs. Therefore, what you need to do is: First deploy the Veeam replicated VMs which means failover/restore in Veeam (it wasn’t clear from the question whether the “Veeam replicated VMs” are already VMs or if they are just in the Veeam backup repository) After you have actual […]

- NIC Settings on Failover

When failing over from VMware to Hyper-V the machines get converted but my question is specific to the NIC in case of a fail-back. Let’s […]

- Long Distance vMotion
  
  We get some questions about long distance VMotion. Some things to consider: 1. Long distance vMotion sends the entire data set in one go, you cannot pre-seed. Zerto allows replication with just the changes sent. 2. Long distance vMotion will flood a link with all the data being sent which means its limited to moving VMs one […]
