Mark, you might consider Synthetic backups
if you can't get around the bandwidth limitation. The first one would take
a long, but after that, it's incrementals forever.

Thanks for your input.
We normally use puredisk
for all of our remote server backups so this is the first time that we’ve
looked into backing up a remote client through Netbackup.
Ed’s math certainly opened
my eyes to the fact that ANY type of backup of these clients is going to
be ugly.
Back to the drawing board
me thinks !!

I don't think you would like the results of this solution. As you know,
a snapshot of the vm is copied to the backup proxy's holding tank and it
isn't released on the ESX server until this is completed. I'm pretty sure
you would end up with snapshots being released before the copy process
is done, and thus you would get failed backups. Best practice is to get
these done as quickly as possible.
Even doing a normal backup with the client on the vm will take forever,
based on Ed's math.

Is backing VMware machines feasible to a remote VMware Backup proxy server
over a T1 line ?
We’re about to virtualize some clients at a remote facility (Ripon, WI)
and have been advised by support (datakink) that we won’t be able to use
our ESX server as the backup proxy server and that we should make the current
NBU media server (St. Louis, MO) the proxy server for the VMware backups.
We’re talking about 4 Virtual hosts with about 200GB of data between them.
Thanks in advance,
