Writable volumes between datacenters

Hi

We have situation in which we require the writable volumes to be available in the alternate datacenter if there is failure. I have tried the manual download and upload of writable volumes and its works fine. I am looking for some thg to automate the process. If any one has done this please share the method in which it was achieved.

Our current environment is

Horizon 7.2

App volumes 2.12

Storage vSAN(We have additional common storage between the DCs and is part of replication group,through which App volumes get replicated)

Thank you

We are using NFS storage and eventually build our own backup solution.

What we did is use a Windows servers with NFS client and use a powershell script to copy the writables (which are just simple files then) from one datastore to another.

Do keep in mind that you need to copy them to an alternative location, not the cloudvolumes/writables folder. Otherwise your database will have 2 writables and the user never knows which writable is gonna be attached.
