By default, where is the Veeam Backup Proxy located?

• A. On the Veeam Backup Repository
• B. On the Veeam Backup Server
• C. On a dedicated proxy machine
• D. In the cloud gateway

Answer: (C)

The data transport and processing work inside Veeam is handled by the backup proxy. By default, this role is placed on a dedicated proxy machine rather than on the backup server or the repository, to keep the server free for management tasks and to maximize performance and scalability. A separate proxy lets you scale out handling of I/O and transport paths, optimize for different storage and network environments, and use transport modes like direct access efficiently without contending with other components. The repository stores the backup data, and the cloud gateway is for cloud transfer, so they aren’t the default locations for the proxy.
