It’s VMCE Practice Question Day! As with the last question, I recommend ‘hiding’ your answers so others can benefit trying to answer the question on their own (thanks Chris for starting that 😊). Appreciate the assist with that. Remember to also try and answer without using the Guides to benefit your learning most.

Here we go….

 

Choose the option which would best complete the below Transport Mode matrix for Virtual Appliance mode with Local Storage:
 

Local Storage using Hotadd
  1. Install a VMware Backup Proxy on any machine connected to the storage network
  2. This option is not supported
  3. Install a General Purpose Proxy on a physical machine for best performance
  4. Install a VMware Backup Proxy on a VM on every ESXi Host

And, the correct answer is….. #4


A VMware hotadd VM Proxy is needed for best backup performance and one placed on every ESXi Host. The key here is the source storage (datastore) is local to each Host.

Great job all!
