17.03.2021 · NBD multi-threading — The backup engine is now capable of establishing multiple NBD connections per VMDK for better performance of network transport mode. At the same time, due to the low limit of max NBD connections per ESXi host, there are reliability concerns associated with increasing the number of such connections.
16.12.2021 · In the Virtual appliance mode, Veeam Backup & Replication uses the VMware SCSI HotAdd capability that allows attaching devices to a VM while the VM is running.

31.07.2017 · if “Automatic selection” for transport mode is selected and all other modes fail, Veeam always uses NBD at least. Cons: backup traffic affects the ESXi management interface as it transports VM data through the VMkernel interface. typically limited to using up to 40% of the bandwidth available on the corresponding VMkernel interfaces.
14.06.2021 · Each of these modes also provide the possibility to restore data. This post is about 3 reasons why direct SAN restore failover to NBD. Incorrect VMDK type. Veeam can only perform direct SAN restore with thick provisioned VMDKs. If any disk of a VM is thin provisioned, restore will not leverage SAN directly.
03.03.2021 · In this mode, data is retrieved through the ESXi host over LAN using the Network Block Device protocol (NBD). The Network mode has low data transfer speed over LAN. To take the load off the LAN, Veeam Backup & Replication provides two alternative modes: Direct Storage Access and Virtual Appliance .

The setting of how a proxy is to move data is set as a property of the proxy, and then each job can be configured to use one or more proxies. Generally speaking, direct storage access is recommended as it will use Direct SAN Access or Veeam’s proprietary Direct NFS Access.
09.06.2020 · Advanced transport modes (Virtual Appliance (HotAdd) or Direct Storage access) are utilizing TLS protocol unlike the NBD mode. Solution If your vCenter has a self-signed certificate tree, install all certificates on all proxies.
When you choose the network mode, you entirely avoid dealing with hot-add vCenter and ESXi overhead or physical SAN configuration. The network mode (NBD) is a ...
Typically, hosts are added to vCenter using FQDN, which means NBD relies ... good network connection between the VMware ESXi VMKernel port and Veeam Backup ...
21.06.2021 · In general, NBD streams are completely unrelated to Veeam tasks. With the above registry value, you are basically controlling the number of NBD streams per task (where task = virtual disk, just as a reminder). However, max number of concurrent Veeam tasks may still be affected implicitly because NBD connections limit per ESXi host is reached ...
