I wonder if anyone on here can help.
We have Acronis clous setup to backup our Servers for DR. This works great and I can bring up a server backup in very little time.
Acronis is connected to our local network via a Watchguard Firewall using the Acronis recommended VPN (BOVPN). The local network is 192.168.0.x and the Acronis one is 172.16.100.x. When I bring up a DR server in Acronis I can ping the local network and can also ping the Acronis network from local. My issue is as the Acronis network is on a different IP range the services on the DR server cannot be found from the local network as it got a different IP address. Any ideas how I fix this. I could use the same IP range on both networks as in theory the if I’m in a DR scenario the local server IP wont be in use anymore as its failed. I have tried Acronis support but have so far not really got anywhere

Hmm, confusing , but, I am guessing you are saying your disaster recovery machine is in Acronis’s cloud, so yes, in that case, your VPN will not work backwards for outbound connections made from the cloud side to your local side, it thinks it’s end point is the 172 network and it’s origin point the 192 network. You would need another tunnel that goes the other way…

If the DR server is set to use your internal DNs servers, then it’s dns records should update and everything start working.
Exact details will depend on your environment and services. e..g is it a windows active directory domain?
