Configure Hyper-V Replica

You will need to start by configuring the target Hyper-V host to allow itself to be a replication

target. Start by selecting to view the Hyper-V settings on the server.

You will then configure the replication section with the replication authentication type, the port

for the connection, certificate (if used), and the allow list. You can select that any

authenticated source can replicate to the host as well.

Now comes an awesome feature called recover history. This allows the target system to

maintain older copies of the VM that you can recover to. Select the number of intervals you want

to retain on disk at the target location.
