We use VDR version 2 and I was wondering what NIC does it use to pull the snapshot data? My guess is all that traffic stays on the iSCSI NIC since it is pulling the info from the VMDK file and the VDR appliance has direct access to the iSCSI vmfs volumes that it is backing up.
If the ESX where the VDR appliance resides have access to the VM being backed UP, all goes using the iSCSI network (if your SAn is iSCSI). If not, the ESX management network is used.
