The following chapter describes the backup and restore strategies of the RHV Plugin.

Proxy Server

The RHV Plugin will run in a virtual machine that it is placed inside the same RHV environment we are protecting. It will be necessary to deploy this VM which contains the Bacula FD and proxy VM.

Minimum Requirements for the Proxy Server

• OS: There is no specific OS requirement and this mode should work with any updated OS. However, it is recommended to use Debian 10 (Buster), as it is the only one where proxy mode has been tested extensively.

• RAM: 2 GB.

• Network: Access to logical network RHV.

• Storage: 4GB.

• Bacula Enterprise version: 12.4.0.

• Java Virtual Machine: 8.

Calculations show that a machine meeting the minimum requirements can process up to 20 backups in parallel on an external machine, with an additional 1 GB of available RAM required for every 10 parallel backups.
