Is backing VMware machines feasible to a remote VMware Backup proxy server over a T1 line ? 

We’re talking about 4 Virtual hosts with about 200GB of data between them.


Doing some simple math, a T1 at 1.5Mbps will take 1.8 hours per GB, assuming you push absolutely 100% of the T1 (which isn't even feasible).  For 200GB, that's 370 hours, or 15.4 days for a single full. 

In short, I'd say you be nuts to try without doing some major compression and/or de-duplication.
