How to know if adding another backup proxy will help

[ValiantMartian]

I am on the newest 10.x version. 3 backup jobs (about 30 VMware VMs). I have a single Veeam server (4 core/16 GB RAM) running the main Veeam backup jobs and functioning as a backup proxy. I back up my Nimble SAN to a NAS on-site, and do "backup-copy" jobs to a NAS at a remote data center. Is there any way to predict if creating a new separate backup proxy will improve performance before actually setting up a new machine to try it?

Hello,
you did not mention which part of the infrastructure you would like to make faster. What is slow? Bottleneck analysis?

As you have one VM doing everything (including the repository role), I would add at least 2 cores and 8 GB RAM. To simplify, just double the resources for the Veeam server.

If your backup copy job speed from NAS to NAS is bad, then I recommend that you add a gateway server (just a normal Windows machine) on the remote site: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=100 and configure that gateway server for the remote site NAS share

Best regards,
