Hello, @Loki Rodriguez, great idea! From my side I can recommend reading this worthwhile blog posts and references:

When I created this thread, I thought we would be mostly speaking about network load and its critical impact on backups. (Update: Yes, I have found this information if one of the references by @Official Moderator)
Reducing the network load is the first I would do in a situation when you want to increase backup server performance.
Hello, @Hakim, I think you should find out more information about NAKIVO Backup for Ransomware Protection: https://www.nakivo.com/ransomware-protection/
Anti-ransomware software alone is not sufficient to protect your organization's data.
Also I recommend reading best practices for ransomware protection and recovery: https://www.nakivo.com/ransomware-protection/white-paper/best-practices-for-ransomware-protection-and-recovery/
Sorry for the offtop, I just wanted to support your remark
Hello, guys two remarks from me - on one hand, anti-virus solutions can slow down saving and reading data from a disk, but on the other hand, ransomware issues can cause performance degradation. So you should always keep the balance
Speaking about VMware backups, VMware Monitoring from NAKIVO is worth mentioning: https://www.nakivo.com/it-monitoring/vmware-monitoring
It actually helps to optimize the performance of environment and resolve the issues that can cause the problems with speed.
@Loki RodriguezYes, thank you for the update. You can find the information in my references list. Also, I recommend paying particular attention to the Network Acceleration feature, which is extremely useful in speeding up VM backup and replication jobs.
