Integrate PB-HA volumes with Veeam Backup (qualification)

Many customers use Veeam Backup and want to purchase a disk system for this application, which can be found on the "Veeam Alliance Partner integrations and qualifications" page https://www.veeam.com/solutions/alliance-partner/integrations-qualifications.html?allianceProduct=flashsystem but PB-HA volumes are not supported.
