Remote Replication - setup backup proxies/wan accelerators

[el3ctronick]

hi,
I am new here and have a question to ask..and question is stupid but..I have to find out as I am testing stuff.. thanks
So, what I want to do:
currently have 10VMs (approx 4 TB in total) on 2 ESXi hosts in datacenter A and I want to make replication of these VMs. I want the Veeam backup server to rely in Cloud (virtual server) and replicate the VMs to corresponding ESXi Hosts on Cloud. Since I will be using public internet and replication will be done in remote site, I will need backup proxies right? can I have the backup proxy on the target ESXi hosts or need independent VMs? and the same question applies for the on source site, can I have the backup proxy on an ESXi that of the source host? Same applies for WAN accelerators?

Thanking you in advance

Yes, you need proxies on both sides. Any existing VM can play the role of the proxy/WAN accelerator, provided it meets the system requirements.
