What is the best DR plan using 2 Readynas in a VMware/Veeam environment?

Hi Everyone

What is the best DR plan using 2 Readynas in a VMware/Veeam environment?

I have a VMware 6.5 box running 2 VM's.  I use veeam replication to replicate to a iSCSI datastore which in on a LUN on the Nas1 box.   On the Veeam Box I run a backup job to iSCSI connection to another LUN on the same nas1.  Also running on the Veeam box is Veeam Office365 which backs up to another LUN on the same nas1.

On the main nas1 I have 3 ReadyDR jobs which run to a second readynas of the same type.  I was looking at trying to replicate the LUN's from Nas1 to Nas2 but couldn't get the, to see each other.  I was initially using ReadyReplicate however this is not supported anymore by Netgear and I cant see the LUN's in ReadyReplicate any how.

My question is what is the best config?  What is the best DR plan if you have the following:

1 VMware box running 2 VM's with a iSCSI connection to a LUN on a Nas box
1 Workstation running Veeam Backup Up and Replication and Veeam Office365
2 x readynas 8TB

Regards

We would replicate to NAS using NFS.

Deploy Rsync between the NAS boxes.
