optimize wan copy

[ScottGao]

Dear

I am from IT service company. we have a offsite backup service for many customer. structure is some different customer point their remote reposity to our wan IP, wan IP NAT to linux host(only 1 host for all customer), this linux use NFS map network storage for each customer.
my encounter problem is when offsite copy job create sythetic full, it will easy fail. I think maybe data too large and wan speed is weak.
But the point is create sythetic full, should not have loading under WAN link.
Q1: IF it have loading, can I prevent it by install backup proxy to linux host? how to install? just add to management host then Veeam auto install compoment?
Q2: if install backup proxy in customer A, but how about B and C and D?

Thanks for you time and help.
Best Regards.
Scott

Hello,
the recommendation would be that you use Veeam Cloud connect.

Q1: I assume that your customers use a backup copy job (local backup at every customer and only copy to you). per default, it only does synthetic full. and the machine on your side is a repository (not a proxy). Only a repository is needed on your side.

Q2: I hope that every of your customers has it's own proxy. Otherwise you probably really have a WAN issue

Component (proxy, repository) is described in the user guide:

Dear Hannesk

do you mean I need to separate Linux repository, then add proxy separately?
Thank you.

Hello,
I'm not sure whether I understand the question.

Each customer needs a local proxy and a local repository. Linux proxies are available for VMware in HotAdd mode today.

Both roles can be installed on the same machine. But you need to click through the wizards separately.

Best regards,
Hannes

Dear Hannesk

I try to read the manual, but I still have question.
I can working without remote proxy( or call distribute proxy), So how can I know it's working by remote proxy instead of local if I install it?
Did you know this question answer?

Thanks for you time.
Thank you.

sure you can work with a one (windows) proxy in your data center... but I thought you try to optimize WAN traffic?

I suggest to start with the quick start guide https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/qsg_vsphere/ and continue with the user guide https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=100

there is a automatic subnet detection built-in, but you can also configure per job / per repository
