Hi,
i have four vmware host.
two hosts in cluster A and two in another cluster B, but using the same vcenter.
The "Veem" server is also the proxy and is located on one of the cluster B hosts.
The repository is an IOMEGA presented via iSCSI for the virtual server Veem on a 1G network.
The volume is formatted with ReFS and 64K blocks.
Native deduplication is enabled on the JOB.
There are 20 servers with small disks (~100GB).
I realize that the backup when it runs on the VMs in the same cluster B is fast, but when it runs on cluster A it takes too long.
If I add a proxy in cluster A and keep the proxy in cluster B do I help with data processing / transfer?
If so, what proxy configuration can I use? Is there an appliance version of Veem?
Thanks.

Re: What better strategy to improve backup performance?
Hello,
everything you describe looks expected. I assume that your ESXi hosts also have only 1G network connection.
Yes, a proxy on the second cluster probably improves speed. You can use Windows (including core edition) or Linux as proxy. Please see user guide for more details
Best regards,
Hannes

Re: What better strategy to improve backup performance?
Hi Sandro, indeed, your cluster A backups are currently using network transport mode while cluster B benefits from hotadd. You can check the job bottleneck stats to make sure the primary bottleneck for cluster A backups is source. If you set up virtual proxies on cluster A, this will enable hotadd there as well.
