    Hi,

    Please find some information about the use of proxy host in NMM.

    " A proxy client is a separate host that acts as a data mover for a NMM client. By default, the NMM client acts as its own data mover. However, a proxy client is required for serverless backups. Serverless backups free the NMM client from much

    of the processing involved in a snapshot backup. In a serverless backup, a snapshot is created on the NMM client and then immediately moved to the proxy client for further processing.A proxy client can also be set up on a NetWorker storage node. In this way, the network traffic that is generated when a snapshot is rolled over to a conventional backup medium is avoided."

    Thank you
