VMware vSphere • Re: Feature request: creating pools of proxies

Hi Denis,

Have you tried the "Connected DataStore" option? Assuming each DataCenter/vCenter has its own datastore, this option could help.

It would be a significant improvement to allow the creation of proxy pools that can be assigned to vCenters. This way, when configuring backup, backup copy, or replication jobs, users could select the appropriate proxy pool, ensuring optimal proxy usage and performance.

Backup Copy jobs do not leverage backup proxies. In almost all cases, a Backup Copy job is a direct copy from the source repository to the target repository. There are exceptions when using Object Storage, Deduplication Appliances, or Shared Network Storage—in these cases, the Gateway Server is involved as well.

Best,
Fabian
