Dedicated network for backup
Hi ,
i have emailed acronis but there is no respond might as well post it here.
i am trying to create a new network just for running backups for 2 server to a single san storage from a single switch and single firewall but on different vlan and subnets.
there's plans for a vpn for offisite backup so direct connection from server to storage is not possible
server 1 ethernet link 1 ip address :192.168.1.2 /24
server 1 ethernet link 2 ip address : 172.16.1.2 /24
server 1 ethernet link 1 ip address :192.168.1.3 /24
server 1 ethernet link 2 ip address : 172.16.1.3 /24
switch vlan 1 : 192.168.1.254
switch vlan 10 : 172.16.1.254
firewall (vpn) vlan 1 : 192.168.1.1
firewall (vpn) vlan 12 : 172.16.1.1
storage ethernet link : 172.16.1.100
connection
server 1 and 2 link 1 > switch vlan 1 > firewall
server 1 and 2 link 2 > switch vlan 10 > firewall
storage > switch vlan 10 > firewall
firewall blocks all traffic access from 192.168.1.0/24 to 172.16.1.0/24 so that user cannot access the storage. i have ping to test it.
somehow the backup server still uses 2 interfaces to send out backup packets and worst the 2 link are somehow established.
during backup my 192.168.1.1/24 network will shoot up to 80mbps /sec however my 172.16.1.0/24 network will be on idle kbps.
and it is using my main interface to transmit the backup causing my main network to slow down ALOT
both server 2012 i have tried to set route metric sub interface to 1 but still same result
i am running in a gigabit network environment
wondering if anyone was able to do it.

I'm very interested to know how this ends up. I have engineered a backup design that would incorporate this behavior too.
