Hi everyone,
I’ve just published the February edition in the “Regkey of the Month series”
This month’s focus is on the EnableSameHostHotaddMode registry setting in Veeam Backup & Replication.
What it does ?
Forces Veeam to preferentially use a proxy on the same ESXi host as the VM being backed up — helping to localize backup traffic and reduce performance issues like VM stun and cross-host data transfer.
Why this can be interesting for you ?
This can be especially useful in complex infrastructures (e.g., HCI or NFS-based storage) where network and snapshot performance matter.
If you’re curious how this setting works and when to implement it, check out the full post here:

I would love to hear your thoughts or real-world use cases!
