how many VM Proxy required for 1000 servers to run backup in hotadd mode. 

Good morning.  What version of vCenter are  you using?


vsphere client version 7.0.3


Difficult to calculate exactly as it depends on a lot of environmental factors - like how many disk each VM has, size of VMs, what your RPO is etc.

HotAdd requires SCSI slots, and a maximum of 60 disks can be mounted at once if you have 4x scsi controllers on the HotAdd proxy. Each disk on a VM will use a scsi slot during backup - although performance of the proxy is usually exhausted long before the 60 slot limit is reached.

In either case, there is a guide here on sizing proxies vs front end terabytes (i.e how much VM data you need to protect)
