Overview
Disaster Recovery Failback Activity report provides details of the failback jobs triggered for the failed over EC2 instances in the organization. The report includes the following details of each failback job: the identifier of the failback job, the identifier of the instance for which failback is triggered, the name of the source vCenter/ESXi, the date and the timestamp of the start and the completion of each failback operation, the status of the failback operation, the IP address of the destination vCenter/ESXi, the name and the universal unique identifier (UUID) of the recovered virtual machine during failback, and the details of the failback operation.
To address a disaster, Disaster Recovery spins up the AWS EC2 instances from the EBS snapshots during failback. The virtual machines in the AWS account are recovered based on the configuration and failback settings specified in the DR plan. Once Disaster Recovery addresses the disaster, you can failback the EC2 instances with a single click to an alternate location in your virtualization infrastructure without any data loss.
When you trigger failback, the backup proxy creates a target virtual machine in the virtualization infrastructure. The virtual machine then connects to the failed over EC2 instance and the data is copied to the virtual machine. Hybrid Workloads then boots up the virtual machine and launches the target instance. You must configure the virtual machine with the previous backup policy to resume the operations.
📝 Note
You can failback the entire DR plan or multiple VM instances in the DR plan by selecting all the required instances in the DR plan at one time for failback.
Procedure
Log in to the Druva Cloud Platform Console.
In the Global Navigation Panel > Reports > Hybrid Workloads. The Hybrid WorkloadsReports page appears.
Click Disaster Recovery Failback Activity.
The Disaster Recovery Failback Activity page appears. By default, the report provides details of the alerts that occurred in the last 30 days.
You can apply filters to the report to fetch failback activity alerts details per your requirements. You can view the generated report, download it, or send it through an email to the intended recipients. You can also download data in the widgets in the CSV, CSV-Summary, and PDF formats. You can sort data in the table view using single or multiple columns, and rearrange columns in the table as required.
📝 Note
The report data is refreshed every two hours. The last updated time recorded for the report is displayed next to the report title. This timestamp follows the administrator’s time zone. However, the timestamps of the data fetched in the report follow the UTC time zone.
The following table lists the fields of the Disaster Recovery Failback Activity report:
Field | Description |
DR Plan ID | The ID of the Disaster Recovery Plan that provides restoration and limit damage in disaster recovery scenarios. |
Job ID | The unique identification number of the DR Failbacks job. |
Organization | The name of the organization in which the workload is configured. |
Started | The date and time when the DR Failback first occurred. |
Ended | The date and time when the DR Failback ended. |
Destination (vCenter/ESXi) | The destination of the vCenter/ESXi setup where the instance must failback. This list only displays the vCenter/ESXi servers registered with Disaster Recovery. |
Details | The details of the DR Failbacks Job. For example, Cancelled.
