A Sync WAN Replication

Hi, I'm looking for a clean way to setup WAN replication from one site to another over a site to site VPN.

The originating Site is small with about 7 or so Hyper-V VMs and 2 physical file servers. So its mixed with physical and virtual machines.

Ideally at the receiving end it would have duplicate VMs of the primary site and hourly or once daily any changed data is copied over, so if we needed to use the receiving end the servers would already be running or could just be powered on and we'd be in business.

I'm thinking I could use Veeam for the VMs and DFS replication for the file servers.

Any other input on DFS replication over a WAN connection?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Are you running Windows 2012? It has replication utility built in for Hyper-V.

For a file server, I would probably use a standard backup, something like Symantec BackupExec or maybe even Windows backup. Create a schedule with incremental on weekdays and full on the weekend.
