# Data Protection Capabilities for Event Topics

The following data protection capabilities are supported for VAST Event Broker topics:

- [VAST asynchronous replication](/docs-5-4/docs/en/overview-of-vast-replication-tg) and [failover](/docs-5-4/docs/en/failover-capabilities-and-scenarios-for-asynchronous-replication-tg)

The replicated topics are read-only at the destination peer. In case of a failover, the destination peer becomes the one hosting the topics to which events are produced.
- [Snapshots](/docs-5-4/docs/en/snapshots-tg) and global snapshot cloning

A clone can be created from either local or remote snapshots.

The following rules and limitations apply:

- The Kafka-enabled view needs to be manually created and associated with a virtual IP pool at the destination peer. The pool must have the same name as the one at the source peer.
- Fast restore of a protected path containing a Kafka-enabled view is not allowed.
- Consumer group offsets are not replicated.
