"The Hyper-V host was the proxy (on-host) which the VM is on. Had I used the VBR as the proxy then it would have been “off-host” and traffic would more than likely traverse the WAN. The repo is local to the Hyper-V host. After I got my initial backup, I was going to do backup copy to TX and then do instant recovery." <- I understand that, thus why (probably) your Agent job was traversing the WAN. My point was using a VM-based job with your on-host setup wouldn't 😊 My guess is you should then be good to go. Keep us posted.

We ended up not doing this, I had this idea instead, we brought up a small VM, migrated the SQL express DBs over to it, now it’s on VMware, and not on Hyper-V. Case closed.
