I’m installing a new Veeam solution with Hyper-V. I’m not sure which proxy is best. on-host or off-host. Does anyone have any experiences?
thanks

Veeam & Hyper-V - proxy options
+1Best answer by Stabz
Hey
Based on the BP Veeam.
We recommend using On-Host backup proxies unless there are dire reasons to not use them. The pros of On-Host proxies do outweigh the cons a lot.
Every Hyper-V server added to Veeam Backup & Replication will be installed with the Veeam On-Host proxy role automatically.

i normally go for onhost Proxy because this is the least complex way to use and maintain and i think that you will get a Higher Performance when every HyperV Host in the Cluster is a Proxy compared to using only one dedicated Host.

+12As an alternative: In case of a 3-tier architecture you could also go with off-host proxy since you can be able to keep backup workloads and traffic away from your Hyper-V hosts. But implementing is way more complex and not possible in every scenario.
