Hello,
Do all of my VMs need to use NBD in order to benefit from faster backup speeds, or only the XO VM?
The XO VM, the Hypervisor and TrueNAS are all on their own VLANs. So from my understanding, doesn't matter which VM I'm backing up on that Hypervisor, the only network that would require NBD would be the XO VM one, rather the one that talks to the Hypervisor?
Note that the XO VM resides on the same hypervisor. Now that I think of it, maybe I should use an internal network, just to skip steps 1,2,3,4?

NBD is the transfer method between the XCP-ng machine and your Xen Orchestra. It doesn't matter in which network your application VMs are, it's irrelevant as long as Xen Orchestra get access to your XCP-ng machine.

@olivierlambert Understood, thank you.
So I don't need to enable NBD on all my VMs, although I'm curious is there any drawback or perhaps positive sides of enabling NBD for every network?

You do not enable NBD in your VM, you enable NBD on a XCP-ng network, that's it.
There's no drawback to enable it (well, it's a new service exposed but it's OK)
