Veeam Backup & Replication • Veeam 13 Linux based Proxy question

Hi all,

We are migrating from windows based Veeam 12 setups to the amazing new Linux ISO based v13 setups.
All setup locally and with additional Veeam Hardened Repos to go with it, but the Proxy side of things needs a sense check.

We have multiple sites link via site to site VPN's, but from a Veeam perspective, all run independently. However we try to utilise remote storage and infrastructure to enable off site backups in secure "internal" areas. To that end, it helps us to use a remote proxy at each site. Which is where my query is.

In my scenario, I've span up a Veeam Proxy from the Infrastructure Applicance ISO, and registered it to be managed by my local Veeam B&R server so that i've got clearer eyes on my local servers for backups and availability.
However at one of my remote sites, the Veeam 13 B&R server there doesn't seem to be able to register "my" proxy to be used to speed up transfer to local storage that I have for that site. Reading the literature, it suggest that you can only add a proxy from a Veeam server that is already Managed by the related B&R server. In this case, the remote Veeam "source" is not the server registered to manage this proxy at my site.

So in simple terms, is there a way that I can spin up a single Linux based Veeam 13 Proxy at my site, that is available to be used by two other sites and their "independant" Veeam B&R servers.
Or is the only way to spin up a Proxy VM at my site for each remote site to use, which seems a little over kill, and also doesn't give me much visibility of it.

Thanks
