Which transport mode should I use for VMware backups?

Hi @samtula 

This is one of those “It Depends” questions, as it depends on how your infrastructure is set up, but in general “Auto” does a great job of selecting the best transport mode for your situation – but you can manually change it if needed. 

We have a video that covers the topic of transport modes in detail.

You can also find more detailed information on SAN, HotAdd, NAS and NBD/NBDSSL transport modes on our documentation site. 

If that answers your question, feel free to mark this post as the correct answer.

Thanks!
