In this instance this is the new Linux proxy we have coming in v10. You can see above that my proxy is using the HotAdd transport mode, my proxy is a virtual machine. Easiest way to see this is in your last backup job. I would strongly suggest that if you have left the defaults on then if your proxy is a virtual machine then you are most likely going to be getting the Virtual Appliance or Hot-Add mode selected and if physical then most likely the Network or NBD mode is going to be the selected transport mode you are using.

But what if I told you there could be a better way of moving that data from A to B? Most people I expect leave the setting when configuring their proxies to the default which is automatic.Īnd I expect those of you that have use this as your default proxy settings have been getting on just fine and your Veeam backups have been functioning and working with no regrets for weeks. One of these topics and features is around the Data transport modes available in Veeam Backup & Replication that allow us to move data from production to our backup storage as fast as possible. I am sure you have all seen the reverse roadmap from Veeam stating all the great things that have been released, changed the way we move data around from a protection point of view and also interacted with our data for different use cases.

Quite often it’s easy to forget some of the ground-breaking things we have been doing over the years.
