Configuring Cross-Region and Cross-Cloud Copies in Air Gap Protect

You can create cross-region and cross-cloud copies using Air Gap Protect in the following scenarios:

• To recover data in case of a region failure, create copies across multiple Azure regions by creating a primary copy using Air Gap Protect Azure Hot storage in region A and secondary copy using Air Gap Protect Azure Cool storage in region B.

• For mission critical workloads that require high level of resiliency to tolerate a cloud failure, create a primary copy using Air Gap Protect Azure Hot storage and secondary copy using Air Gap Protect OCI infrequent access storage.

Before You Begin

Review the following requirements:

• The source copy must reside in the Air Gap Protect Azure Hot storage.

• Make sure that you provision a MediaAgent in the same region as the Air Gap Protect Azure Hot cloud storage.

Procedure

1. To enable cross-region and cross-cloud copies, contact Commvault support.
2. Create Air Gap Protect Azure Hot cloud storage using a MediaAgent in the the same Azure region. For more information, see Configuring Air Gap Protect.
3. Create Air Gap Protect Azure Cool cloud storage or Air Gap Protect OCI Infrequent Access cloud storage. For more information, see Configuring Air Gap Protect.
4. Create a plan using Air Gap Protect Azure Hot cloud storage as the primary copy and Air Gap Protect Azure cool or OCI Infrequent Access cloud storage as secondary copy. For more information, see Creating a Server Plan.
