VMware vSphere • SureBackup in env with many networks

Hello,

I'm trying to show/prove SureBackup for a customer and was wondering how to get it to work where there are many networks / port groups involved (am talking dozens here). Does the proxy appliance need to be plumbed into each possible network that every VM to be tested is in?

Is the proxy appliance required to perform the ping testing? (think thats a yes)

Is there a way to have a single public IP / interface for the proxy appliance and it to be able to see all / any networks that get created as part of surebacup testing?

I'm also trying to understand if the proxy appliance is required when performing SureBackup testing of linux agent type backups. The logfile says 'timed out connecting to the helper appliance'

thanks!
Adrian
