Adding Backup Proxy

You must add to the backup infrastructure one or more backup proxies that you plan to use for moving backup data from the file share to the backup repository.

Before you add a backup proxy to the inventory of the virtual infrastructure, check the following prerequisites:

• The backup proxy meets system requirements.
• The backup proxy is a Windows-managed server.

To add a backup proxy:

1. Launch the New Backup Proxy wizard.
2. Choose a Microsoft Windows server.
3. Configure traffic throttling rules.
4. Review properties and components to install.
5. Apply backup proxy settings.
6. Finish working with the wizard.
