When a backup set was created, a Windows proxy was present in the pool. Is it possible to remove the Windows proxy from the pool at a later point?
When a backup set was created, a Windows proxy was present in the pool. Is it possible to remove the Windows proxy from the pool at a later point?
Such a removal is not allowed. If the SMB backup set is created and you try to remove the last Windows proxy from the pool, it fails.
However, if there are multiple Windows proxies in that pool, then the operation is allowed.
Is load balancing supported for a pool containing proxies with different versions?
Is load balancing supported for a pool containing proxies with different versions?
Load balancing is disabled for a pool containing proxies with different versions: a proxy pool-supported version and a non-proxy pool-supported version.
Therefore, while performing an on-demand backup, if the proxy is disconnected, Druva will not assign a different proxy and will let the job fail.
❗ Important
Load balancing is available only for a pool containing all proxies with version 7.0.2 and later.
For more information, see Create backup proxy pool for NAS and NAS share backup workflow.
What happens to scheduled backups if you change the proxy pool's time zone?
What happens to scheduled backups if you change the proxy pool's time zone?
Scheduled backups are triggered based on the proxy pool time zone and not the proxy’s local time zone. Therefore, if you change the proxy pool for a backup set and the new proxy pool time zone is different, then scheduled backup will be triggered based on the new proxy pool time zone.
