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,
