Hi Anton,

 I believe so - but I believe you can do a hosted-engine deploy with the backup file specified so it auto-restores with it.

 I need to try it on a test system I haven't done much DR testing yet. My builds have been rushed into production due to time constraints, and although I backup and ship off-site so I have it all I actually haven't done a full breakdown and re-restore yet :/

 I'll be interested to know how you go, if you dont mind.

Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joseph,

 

Thanks for the reply. So in short, the process will then be to 1) Take a backup of the Hosted Engine, 2) Do a clean-up of the Hosted Engine, and then lastly redeploy on one of the nodes using hosted-engine deploy? After that then I will do a restore?

 

Thanks

It is my understanding that yes taking a full backup and then redploying
into a new storage domain using the backup is the correct way - I dont
think you'd need a new physical server for it though unless you mean you
are running on bare-metal.
