Advanced transport methods

This article provides information about advanced transport methods used in Xopero ONE.

In general, the transport method between the VMware datastore and Xopero ONE storage can be selected in the VMware backup options when creating a backup plan.

All transport methods are available from the drop-down list:

  1. Automatic (recommended) — Xopero ONE will automatically determine the best available transport method for each worker and apply it accordingly.

  2. HotAdd — available only for virtual appliance workers (see this article for more details). This method creates a snapshot and a linked clone of the target virtual machine. The disk is then attached to the worker, which reads the linked clone’s virtual disks for backup.

  3. SAN — this mode requires the backup server to have access to the SAN storage containing the virtual disks. A SAN backup worker must be a physical machine. In this mode, data is read directly from the VMware LUN storage where the virtual disks are located.

  4. LAN — also called NBD/NBDSSL. In this mode, the ESXi host reads data from the storage and sends it over the network to the worker. This method is typically used when no other transport option is available.
