You can’t attached LUN to Veeam server like we did with SAN (Direct SAN Access). You can only access to the storage through the network. So you can’t ensure that 1GB is not used (maybe there is a trick, but I don’t know).

I have a three way mirror over 3 hyperV nodes and Veeam backup server. They both have connection to 1GB corp and 10GB storage network. How do I ensure the backup traffic is going to the 10GB network not 1GB corp network? It seems I can’t use off-host proxy as it’s for SAN storage only. Obviously, three way mirror is not good or ideal to create a backup cluster and use veeam to back it up. Can you please give me some idea or confirm whether it’s possible? Thanks Yan

ReFS will only reduce storage consumed for blocks that are shared between the first full backup and synthetic fulls created after (weekly or fortnightly) using the ReFS Block Clone API that Veeam has integration with. Thanks,
Antony
