i know if i want send backup traffic from other vmnic have to create a backup proxy
my veeam ip adress is 10.11.21.199 and i have installed a new server with ip address 10.11.21.197 (proxy server)
add proxy server(10.11.21.197) to my repository proxy
now when i create a new backup job in backup proxy select 10.11.21.197
veeam server is connected to vmnic1

Re: why backup proxy not work correctly during backup job ?
So you have 2 servers installed? I am confused about the VMNIC1 and VMNIC2 part. Could you explain what behaviour you see during the job or what the log says?

Are they connect to the same vSwitch? This looks more of a VMware issue / question then Veeam if it goes outside the machines.

Re: why backup proxy not work correctly during backup job ?
By any chance, do you still have the default proxy enabled. It could be that in this case, the default proxy on the backup server was selected to be the proxy

Are these all Virtual Machines running proxy?
If one is a physical machine it will not use hot-add and jobs will queue on the other proxies rather than run nbd on a physical server.

Any chance the repository is CIFS share presented to the backup server?

Re: why backup proxy not work correctly during backup job ?
Hi Baber
To figure out which traffic you are seeing you need to understand the routes of data(not knowing your knowlegde):
ESXi kernel port -> (Backup data path) -> backup proxy
Backup proxy -> (Compressed backup data path) -> Backup repository
Backup proxy -> (Control data) -> VBR server
Backup repository -> (Control data) -> VBR server
If the backup proxy is virtual machine and the datastore of the virtual machine in the backup is available to the backup proxy's ESX host, it will use Hotadd(transport mode: virtual appliance). This will eliminate the "Backup data path" part.
You have 3 ESXi host, and the proxy is running on 1 of them. So maybee the hotadd isnt possible for virtual machines running on the 2 other.
Not sure if it helps ?
Have a nice weekend,
Henrik

It will be selected automatically in case it is available and automatic transport mode selection is enabled.
