Hyper-V Replica is a Microsoft technology that continuously replicates virtual machine changes to a secondary Hyper-V host within the same datacenter, enabling near-instant failover in disaster recovery scenarios.

help Hyper-V Replica FAQ

What does Hyper-V Replica replicate?

Hyper-V Replica continuously copies changes from a virtual machine to a secondary Hyper-V host. This creates a standby copy that can be used during disaster recovery.

Does Hyper-V Replica require shared storage?

No. Hyper-V Replica is designed to replicate virtual machines between separate Hyper-V hosts without requiring shared storage between them.

Can Hyper-V Replica provide failover after a server outage?

Yes. It supports failover to the replica host when the primary host is unavailable. The replica is intended to provide a near-instant recovery path, although the exact recovery point depends on replication timing.

Where can Hyper-V Replica be used?

It can be used between Hyper-V hosts in the same datacenter or across separate locations, depending on network design. The destination host must be able to run the replicated virtual machine.
