Why is It recommended to have at least one backup proxy server in each site when defining a replica Job?
Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer
Explanation
A backup proxy is a component that acts as a data mover in the backup infrastructure. It retrieves data from the source and transfers it to the target1. When defining a replica job, it is recommended to have at least one backup proxy server in each site to enable a stable connection for VM data transfer across sites2. This way, the backup proxy at the source site can communicate with the backup proxy at the target site and send data over the WAN without affecting the production hosts2. The other options are not correct for explaining why backup proxies are recommended. The proxies do not allowautomatic WAN acceleration, as this is a function of the WAN accelerators3. The proxies do not allow for no VM snapshots during transit, as the replication process requires creating a snapshot of the source VM to read its data. The proxies do not allow replication automatic restart after failure, as this is a setting of the replication job.
