Performance and Troubleshooting

Question

The engineer configured Veeam Backup & Replications 3 years ago with an all-in-one physical server with one job backing up all VMs. The environment grew considerably and RPOs are no longer met. The engineer checks the backup job and sees:

Load: Source 0% > Proxy 68% > Network 0% > Target 0%. What should be done to decrease the backup processing time?

Options

  • AEdit the Backup Job settings and enable parallel processing from Advanced options
  • BSplit the VMs in several jobs with the same schedule to process the VMs in parade
  • CFrom Backup Infrastructure add an extra Windows/Linux machine as Backup Proxy
  • DInstall another Veeam Backup & Replication server and move half of the VMs to be processed in

Explanation

Given the proxy load of 68% and all other loads (source, network, target) at 0%, the bottleneck is at the proxy. To decrease the backup processing time and accommodate the growth of the environment, adding additional Windows or Linux machines as backup proxies would help distribute the load. This would enable parallel processing and reduce the time taken to complete the backup jobs, thereby helping to meet the RPOs.
