Considerations and Limitations
General Limitations As documented in Object Storage Repository > Considerations and Limitations: Object storage gateway appliances used to store backup data, emulating disk or CIFS/NFS, iSCSI/FC/SAS are not supported if the backup data is offloaded to object storage and is no longer stored directly on the appliance. Gateway appliances are only supported in the following cases: All backup data is stored and remains on the actual storage appliance, and data is only copied to object storage.or The appliance emulates a tape system (VTL) as an access protocol for Veeam Backup & Replication.
