The backup data are be transferred via the <strong>production network<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Encrypted Transmission<\/strong> - same as LAN transfer but the trasmission is encrypted.<\/li>\n<li><strong>SAN<\/strong>\u00a0- to take benefit of this method, the Vinchin Backup Server <strong>must be a physical server<\/strong>. For FC connections a HBA interface is required to connect the SAN via the FC switch. For iSCSI and NFS (IP SAN), an extra NIC is required instead to connect to the SAN via the storage network switch. LAN-Free path needs to be configured.<\/li>\n<li><strong>HotAdd<\/strong> - to improve performance, the HotAdd technology can be used for VMware virtual platform and requires that the Backup Server is <strong>installed as VM<\/strong>. If the Backup Server is physical, you need to deploy the <strong>Vinchin Proxy<\/strong>, an additional component that acts as data mover.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Click <strong>Next<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-53376 size-large\" title=\"vinchin-backup-recovery-v6-5-overview-34\" src=\"https:\/\/nolabnoparty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/vinchin-backup-recovery-v6-5-overview-34-600x247.jpg\" alt=\"vinchin-backup-recovery-v6-5-overview-34\" width=\"600\" height=\"247\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Enter a <strong>Job Name<\/strong> and click <strong>Submit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-53378 size-large\" title=\"vinchin-backup-recovery-v6-5-overview-35\" src=\"https:\/\/nolabnoparty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/vinchin-backup-recovery-v6-5-overview-35-600x401.jpg\" alt=\"vinchin-backup-recovery-v6-5-overview-35\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The backup job has been created.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-53380 size-large\" title=\"vinchin-backup-recovery-v6-5-overview-36\" src=\"https:\/\/nolabnoparty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/vinchin-backup-recovery-v6-5-overview-36-600x174.jpg\" alt=\"vinchin-backup-recovery-v6-5-overview-36\" width=\"600\" height=\"174\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Click <strong>Options<\/strong> and select <strong>Start Incr.<\/strong> option to manual start the just configured job.
