"Veeam offers deep storage snapshot integration with Hitachi VSP production workloads"
However, you cannot use this plugin with Thin Image Advanced

Sharing Thin Image Advanced and plug-ins
You cannot use Thin Image Advanced with the following plug-ins or functions that use plug-ins:
- vCenter Site Recovery Manager that uses Hitachi Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) plugin
- File systems and backup functionality for Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft Exchange, by the agent of Hitachi Command Suite Replication Manager Application Agent
- Backup functionality of Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service by RAID Manager RM Shadow Copy Provider plug-in
- Hitachi Storage Plug-in for Veeam Backup and Replication
- Hitachi Block Storage Driver for OpenStack
- Hitachi Storage Plug-in for Containers
And from the link below, it indicates that you cannot use HTI (non-advanced) with ADR volumes.
https://docs.hitachivantara.com/r/en-us/svos/9.8.7/mk-98rd9020/overview-of-thin-image/components-of-thin-image/snapshot-tree-components
Together this indicates that you cannot use the Hitachi Storage Plug-in for Veeam Backup and Replication with ADR volumes
When are we going to see this most basic of functionality, orchestrating hardware array-based snapshots, into the current and preferred snapshot technology?

Veeam Data Platform provides data protection for Hitachi Vantara production workloads and data whether they reside as block storage in Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform or NFS/SMB file storage in Hitachi NAS Platform.
Veeam offers deep storage snapshot integration with Hitachi VSP production workloads so you can benefit from faster backup and recovery and improved recovery point objectives (RPOs). Additionally, organizations can leverage Hitachi VSP or HCP/HCP for Cloud Scale for backup and secondary
storage. Veeam and Hitachi provide immutable storage for complete backup immutability and data security.
