Veeam Backup & Replication • Veeam B&R 11 & 12 share same proxy server

Can Veeam Backup and Replication 11 and 12 both share the same proxy agent?
Currently we have Veeam 11 server in production backing up vSphere VMs to HPE StorageOnce Catalyst via Fibre Channel

1 - Veeam 11 server VM
1 - Veeam 12 server VM.
1 - Veeam 11 proxy server - physical machine with Fibre Channel connections to vSphere and HPE StoreOnce Catalyst.

We want to migrate toward v12. Is it possible to have both v11 and v12 both connects to the same proxy server? When we tested this scenario in lab and added the v11 proxy server to v12, it automatically upgrades the proxy server to v12. After the ugprades, Veeam 11 could not connects to the proxy server any more.

Questions,
1. How do we transfer the backup job configurations from Veeam 11 to Veeam 12?
2. Is it possible to have both Veeam 11 server and Veeam 12 server utilize the proxy server simultaneously so that we can move and test few backup jobs at a time?
