Which option would increase the performance of the job?
To increase the performance of a backup job for a NAS file share, it is critical to minimize network latency and maximize bandwidth usage. Deploying the backup proxy and the cache repository on the same network as the NAS can significantly enhance performance. This is because it reduces the distance data needs to travel, minimizes potential bottlenecks, and ensures that the data transfers occur within the same local area network, thus optimizing speed and efficiency.
Option D, deploying the backup proxy and the cache repository on a dedicated backup network, would likely increase the performance of the backup job. Explanation: A backup proxy is responsible for transferring data from the source to the backup repository, while the cache repository stores temporary data during backup processes. By deploying these components on a dedicated backup network, you can isolate backup traffic from the main production network, reducing potential congestion and increasing the overall performance of the backup job. Options A and C do not directly address network performance concerns. Option B, assigning a high priority to the job, may help in certain cases, but it won't necessarily address network performance issues. Therefore, option D is the most suitable choice for improving performance in this scenario.
To minimize the network load during backup, locate the cache repository closer to the backup proxy in the computer network: at the best, they should be located on one machine. https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/unstructured_data_backup_infrastructure.html?ver=120#cache_repository
Agree with Carbs0704. It should be D
We need to avoid extra load to production Network so the answer should be D.
then the NAS needs to be in the same subnet, otherwise it needs to be routed through the default gateway, back to de proxy, and from the proxy to the repo. So way more traffic
Its A, why? Well you all go for network load etc, but you dont know the network. If the uplink will be a low bandwidth wan acc. would help too. You need to look at this on a Veeam perspective.
