Hi
I recently upgraded to vpshere5. As you know, there's no ESX version anymore, just ESXi. With ESX 4.1, i used "direct to target", which was incredibly fast with a DataDomain (4x1 Gbit), as each host did the backup itself. Now with ESXi and "proxy based - lan free", I could only get 25% of the thruput, which makes sense, because all traffic is going through one vranger server (vm) and has only 1 Gbit.
How can I get the same performance with ESXi backups as before? Is there a way to use the virtual appliance as a proxy? or am i able to deploy more vranger servers with the same license? If so, do i have to split my backup jobs when doing that?
My backup time increased from 10 to almost 40 hours for all the VMs, this is just not practicle anymore.
Thanks
Roman
