I believe the intermin storage mentioned the proxy needs is for the snapshot
repository. The data is stored or served up here before the TSM client can send
it to the TSM server.
This data residing at this repository is temporary and dissolved after being
sent to the TSM server, so it's size can be created based on how many and how
large of a full VM backup you will want to run.
I do not believe vmware offers any streaming directly to a tsm server without
the use of this repository.

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!
