Apologies if this has been covered, or if it's in the documentation.
My company currently uses a competitor managed backup product that allows us to install a tool called "Recovery Console" on an on-premises Hyper-V Server, which can be any Windows Server OS, or Windows 10/11. That "Recovery Console" program does what it calls a "continuous restore" of a target machine, by creating and constantly updating a Hyper-V guest VM that stays powered off, but can be powered on very quickly in the event of an outage.
Is it possible to do the same thing with MSP360? I know that a machine can be restored to a cloud-based VM, but is there a way to:
1. restore from a cloud backup to an on-premises Hyper-V VM?
2. do so on a "continuous", or, at least, scheduled basis?
So the short answer is that MSP360 does not have the ability to do what Recovery Console does (basically continuous replication via software).
You can certainly create a backup/restore sequence that would periodically backup up and then restore VHDx files, but it might get tricky from a timing standpoint. Perhaps David G. can comment on how one might set that up.
For us, the daily local VHDx backups, combined with "every-four-hour" local file backups provides an acceptable RPO/RTO for the majority of our SMB customers.
For our larger, more mission critical clients, we use HYPER-V replication.
Typically we use what we call the "trickle down servernomics model".
When a server needs to be replaced, the old one becomes the HYPERV replica - which provides recovery points every 10 minutes going 8 hours back.
It has served us well, and the cost is relatively low (given that the customer already owned the Replica Hardware. It does not perform as well, but in a Failover situation, it works adequately.
