proxy/gateway servers assignement

Post by balma01 »

I'm using a CIFS repository with per VM files option and the gateway server automatically selected, 10 proxies with 4 cores each.
I wish to build 5 backup jobs to group the VMs by OS/credentials and to schedule the jobs with one hour between them .
The first jobs starts and the 10 proxies take care of 40 VMDKs.
After one hour the the second job starts,but the first is still processing a last big VMDK.
Can the second job use the proxies even if the first one is not ended?

Hey,

That shouldn't be a problem, since the last big VMDK is processed by one of 10 proxies (1 task = 1 disk\vmdk)
Even if all the proxies are busy, Veeam B&R will put the next job in the queue.

Please keep in mind that running too many concurrent tasks against the same repository may reduce overall performance. Thanks!

And you do not need to schedule jobs with a one hour delay - you can schedule them with a one minute delay and this way the second job will not wait but start getting proxy resources once the first job releases them.
