Exclude proxy/gateway VM?

Post by Vejete »

I created a VM at my remote site to act as a proxy (appliance mode) and a gateway to my local StoreOnce. The goal is to have the gateway do the chunking/hashing/compressing part of the inline dedupe process thus sending only unique, compressed data across the WAN to my local Catalyst store.

When I configure the backup for my remote site, would it be wise to exclude the proxy/gateway VM? I'm guessing yes, but I'd like other opinions. Thank you.

Hi Jim, yes, you'd better exclude this VM from the job, since it will not be able to hotadd itself and use CBT.
