VADP proxy configuration (select transport mode for individual clients)

Question

Hi! I am backing up the NW 76.SP5 with virtual machines with VADP proxies. I have two proxies: 1. proxy1 used for nbd backup however it is also a vcenter server and it is lack of memory resources. 2. proxy2 used for san backup I tested and found that san backup is perform very good for backup which dont use cbt and quite slow for cbt backups. I want to set up the following: 1. proxy2 used for san backup 2. proxy2 used for ndb backup too (cbt backup) The question is the following: I have only one client definition for proxy2. It contains the following transport modes: san | ndb | ndbssl How can i configure the clients which the following requirements: client1  use san transport mode with proxy2 client2  use ndb trasnport mode with proxy2 (cbt enabled) client2  use san trasnport mode with proxy2 (dbt disabled) Thanks in advance.

For 'client2  use san trasnport mode with proxy2 (cbt disabled)' Add the following in the Client2's 'application information: VADP_DISABLE_CBT=YES Setting VADP_DISABLE_CBT = YES disables CBT. CBT will not be used for incremental backups BTW, transport mode is a proxy level setting and hence cant be specified per client Hope this helps.
