Hi all,
I'm using Veeam B&R v11 and I have 1 Repository (HPE StoreOne) and 1 Tape (HPE MSL 3040). When data is transferred to StoreOne, the process is as follows: Source data -> Backup Proxy Server -> Backup Gateway -> HPE StoreOne.
I am confused about how the data is transferred to Tape. From source or from StoreOne?
Thanks/
Tunglh

Backup Proxy to GW Server would typically go over the network not FC as that is a storage protocol. The GW to Storage would be FC related.
Backup server to Tape server is the same using network but Tape server to Tape array could be FC connected.
+21If you are doing backup to tape jobs then it reads from the StoreOne to send data to tape as noted here - Step 3. Choose Backups to Archive - User Guide for VMware vSphere (veeam.com)
Not from the source data typically as not to impact your production.

Thanks for your response. The data flow will be Source data -> Backup Proxy Server -> Backup Gateway -> HPE StoreOne -> Backup Server --> Tape Server --> Tape Library. Right?
I have a question about protocol, as follows:
- Source data -> Backup Proxy Server (Use only Ethernet?)
- Backup Proxy Server -> Backup Gateway (Depends on config: Can use Ethernet or FC?).
- Backup Gateway -> HPE StoreOne (Depends on config: Use Ethernet or FC?).
- Backup Server --> Tape Server (Depends on config: Can use Ethernet or FC?)
- Tape Server --> Tape Library (Use only FC?)

Yes that is the correct flow. The other protocol questions will depend on your configuration as you have noted.

I can’t find a guide to config for Backup Proxy Server -> Backup Gateway (Use FC) and Backup Server --> Tape Server (Use FC). Do you give me some documents?
