Abstract
A storage cluster may dynamically select a data transport mode for supporting a backup or export job. The storage cluster may receive a trigger indication to create, a backup of data of a source virtual machine. The storage cluster may select a data transport mode to use for reading the data from the source virtual machine to create the backup at the storage cluster. The selection may be from a set of data transport modes that includes a proxy virtual machine mode and a direct-to-host mode. The storage cluster may transmit, to a host for the source virtual machine, a request to activate the selected data transport mode, and receive the data from the source virtual machine via the selected data transport mode. The storage cluster may use the data to create the backup.
