Deploying a backup proxy creates a new virtual machine with the following configuration. The backup proxy VM must be dedicated to performing backup proxy operations.
Parameter | Minimum configuration (Default) |
vCPU | 8 vCPU |
RAM | 8 GB |
Virtual disk | 1 virtual disk for 32GB |
Storage type | LVM:thin or ZFS |
Also, consider the following:
Resource monitoring tools can be used, but tools that use a lot of CPU (more than 3%) require extra CPU to be added to the virtual machine.
Operating system patching should be in line with the operating system vendor security and patching policy.
Operating system upgrades must be verified and supported by Druva.
If you change the backup proxy configuration, additional changes in the backup proxy settings are required to:
Ensure concurrent backup jobs
Avoid any impact on the CPU
