What constitutes a "mid-sized" environment for the advanced deployment scenario?
My overall environment consists of:
2 node hyper-v failover cluster hosted on 2 new HPE blade servers that is hosting 50-60 windows server VMs.
and
a remote, offsite, hyper-v host (not a cluster), with a HP MSA 2060 SAN I will use as the backup repository.
I have 10gb fiber links between the production hyper-v cluster and the remote backup site.
Right now my "simple deployment" Veeam setup is:
1 Veeam backup virtual server (server 2022) on the remote backup site hyper-v host, connected to the MSA 2060 pool with 7200 rpm drives. I'm presenting the storage to the Veeam server as a local D: drive via iSCSI.
Veeam agent on the Production hyper-v cluster.
Should I explore doing the "Advanced Deployment"? and introduce a proxy vm on the production cluster? or what is the best deployment for my general setup?

Hello,
Which problem do you try to solve?
Best regards,
Hannes
what do you mean with that? For Hyper-V, there is on-host and off-host proxy (requires separate Hyper-V host and Hardware VSS providers). On-host proxy is the recommendation and as far as I understand, you already have that.Should I explore doing the "Advanced Deployment"? and introduce a proxy vm on the production cluster?
Which problem do you try to solve?
Best regards,
Hannes

Re: What constitutes a "mid-sized" environment for the advanced deployment scenario?
Hi Hannes, I don't have a problem at the moment, just looking to get set up in the best way for my environment.
I went back and read more and realized the off-host proxy needs to NOT be a plain VM in the Hyper-V cluster (VMcluster01) that is hosting all my ~50ish VMs. But It needs to be another hyper-v host.
So would making a physical, non-clustered hyper-v host that is fiberchannel attached to the same storage that my ~50ish VMs be the proper way to make a off-host proxy?

Hello,
the best option in 99% of all cases is what I said above: on-host proxy

yes, but I would never do that. Too complex, too error prone. It's Hyper-V. It's not VMwareSo would making a physical, non-clustered hyper-v host that is fiberchannel attached to the same storage that my ~50ish VMs be the proper way to make a off-host proxy?

Thank you Hannes. Since I'm curious, what 1% of cases really need a off-host proxy?

if somebody sold "backup from storage snapshots" because he only knows how it works with VMware.
and even then, over time, usually they switch to on-host backup...
