Backup Exec supports the SAN transport mode for VMware backups - the transport modes are set inside the properties of the Backup Job
To use SAN Transport mode you must connect your Backup Exec Media Server via the SAN to your VMWare datastore and connect the tape drive to the Backup Exec Media server - this gives you a LAN free backup with the following exceptions.
There is a small amount of LAN traffic to the vCenter/ESX server as control traffic to identify details of the virtual machine and to request snapshots etc.
If GRT is enabled in the job, then there is a small amount of LAN traffic to the remote agent inside the virtual machine to gather the GRT metadata.
We do not have the ability to control/use a tape drive connected directly to the ESX host |
