Hello Sirjeje,
thanks for reaching out.
I can explain a bit further. Veeam manages the backup files and we are always checking for the integrity of our backup chains. This is as well true when we delete files, we want to be sure that these files represent the specific backup files and not just "any" file that has the same name. For this reason rescan, deletes and other operations work actively with the backup files metadata information within the backups files. If something is broken or not correct, we mark the backup chain to "repair" state, to not harm the data until this is resolved. This can happen if we timeout at the delete processing or we can not delete specific files.
Our documentation points out that we do not support gateway systems that move things to other medias like tape:
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... -and-tapes
You have multiple options:
1) Keep 100% of the data on the filer area (your system just mirror everything to tape)
2) Use Veeam's Tape Job capabilities to maintain backups on the disk system and use Veeam to maintain the backup chain on Tape.
3) Use Object Storages that support Glacier like offloading to tape. Select a system that leverage Veeam's Archive Tier SOSAPI integration. For example POINT, Quantum and SpectraLogic to name some.
