Using Backup Copy for offsite.

Post by jadams159 »

The best practices and deployment guide for v7 states that WAN accelerators should be used when leveraging backup copy jobs to get backups to a remote site over a slow WAN link.

I don't have Enterprise plus for the WAN accelerators.

I will be using a virtual Veeam server with all roles writing to local vmdk repositories at my primary site. There will be a NAS device at the secondary site to receive backup copy job data.

In this scenario, should I have a proxy in each site in order to get the best performance for my backup copy jobs?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Justin,

It depends on how your NAS is added to Veeam B&R console.
If it is added as a CIFS share, you need to configure some server to play a role of a proxying server for the CIFS repository.
If it`s not a share, you will have no proxy servers, the data flow will be: Disk > Source backup repository > Network > Target backup repository > Disk.

Here are visual examples. Thank you.

Please also note that storing backup data on VMFS is not considered as best practice.
