Ok , so you need a review of your infrastructure. Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
Because for lan backup, all software will use the same network that the management traffic. So in your case you will use a 1GB Link.
3 possibility Here :
- 1 : Buy an other 10 Gb network card and add it to the vswitch 0 , but expensive. Image may be NSFW.

- 2 : Merge your vSwitch, and use explicit failover for use 10GB for your management traffic and 1GB in case of failure. (Create 3 port Group , 1 Management, 1 VM, and 1 vMotion)
For Exemple of explicit failover : I supposed vmnic 0 + 1 = 1GB and vmic 2+3 10GB.
- Port Group Management : Active vmnic 2 / Standby vmnic 3 / Unused vmnic1+0
- Port Group VM : Active vmnic1 + 0 / Standby / Unused vmnic 2+3
- Port Group vMotion : Active vmnic3 / Standby vmnic 2 / Unused vmnic1+0
- 3 : You can move a 1GB to your vswitch1 and a 10GB link to your vswitch0 and use explicit failover.
For Exemple of explicit failover : I supposed vmnic 0 + 1 = 1GB and vmic 2+3 10GB.
- Port Group Management : Active vmnic 2 / Standby vmnic 0
- Port Group VM : Active vmnic 1 + 0
- Port Group vMotion : Active vmnic 3 / Standby vmnic 1
