Veeam performance physical vs virtual

[Giacomo_N]

Hi "veeamers", we've Veeam virtual since ever (2013), actually is a VM with Veeam server and repository role (RefS) on Dell 740XD with 8*8TB Raid 5 on Vsphere standard 7, network is 10G.
Recently we refresh the source (6xVsan Vxrail two sites stretched) and the backup report bottleneck move to "network", anyway our two jobs are fast: 6TB of processing data (60VM's) and 110GB of data transferred in 12 minutes. The proxy are 6VM'm, hotadd (vsan) one per host with "should" rule.
The two jobs starting both at 8PM and reporting:
BKP-Job01 Load: Source 45% > Proxy 39% > Network 74% > Target 8%
Primary bottleneck: Network
BKP-Job02 Load: Source 43% > Proxy 28% > Network 55% > Target 40%
Primary bottleneck: Network

The question is, If I install Veeam bare metal using LACP can get more performance?

Thanks in advance and have a great w.end!

Hi, Giacomo.

Virtualization by itself is never a performance-limiting factor... only the hardware behind it is.

Although honestly, I would be more concerned about using virtualization in light that it complicates the disaster recovery. How are you going to get to your backups if your vSphere cluster goes down? Think about this.

Thanks!
