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! ~Rick
