If necessary, multiple backup proxies can be deployed on physical hosts or in virtual machines. If you seperate the management server from the backup proxy, the deployment changes to a distributed deployment.
It is perfect for a small number of VMs with less simultaneous backup traffic and for VMBackup evaluation.
In a simple deployment, the Vembu BDR Backup Server will act as backup proxy and management server instance. The Vembu BDR server acts as a centralized management point, where user can configure and manage backup and replication jobs. Backup data is transferred over LAN or SAN, and is written to the storage repositories. I think this is the most typical deployment type, where you install VMBackup on a physical server, in a VM or deployed as virtual appliance. In this deployment setup, customers deploy the product in their local environment.
