I am investigating the "proxy" backup for VMware vSphere 4 VMs and the
redbook states that the proxy must have adequate space allocated for
interim storage of the backup data (images, files, etc.). Is there a way
to stream the data directly to the TSM backup server which has EMC SAN
as primary storage? Would prefer to try and eliminate the additional
cost for proxy storage. 

 

Am I off my rocker, or does anyone know if this is possible/supported?
All feedback welcome...

 

Thanks!
