Backup Performance

Question

Hi All,I was attending VUG Canada session today and asked question about forcing the backup traffic. It is good to discuss this question here as discussed in the session  When we have VMware proxy configured in the network mode, or any other proxy configured on the network mode,the traffic will be over ESXi Mgmt network. We will have issues in performance and data transfer if this mgmt uplink is less than 10gbps, in most cases it's configured as 1gbps which is not recommended for backup. The question is how can we force the backup traffic to go through good unlink like 10gbps and how can we separate the backup traffic from the production traffic  in the best practice way. Second question if we have agent backup, sure the traffic  will be over the network (I think also the mgmt,please correct me if I am wrong). How can we force the VMware Agent backup to ho over faster link like 10gbps or higher as well. Thank you and waiting for your informative replies

One thing worth checking into is the preferred network settings.

@vNote42 also had a good post a couple years back about isolating the backup traffic that I’d check out.

This is where I would start and go from there. We can definitely answer questions here as well.
