Explanation

To perform backup from storage snapshots for a Fibre Channel SAN, you need to deploy one or more physical servers that will act as backup proxies and connect them to the SAN fabric. This is because Veeam Backup & Replication needs to access the storage system over the Fibre Channel protocol, which is not supported by virtual machines. The backup proxies will read data from the storage snapshots and transfer it to the backup repositories.
