## Output Object
The cmdlet returns the `VBRSanIntegrationOptions` object that contains storage integration settings.

## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Defining Veeam Agent Integration Settings with Automatic General-purpose Backup Proxy Selection

This command defines integration settings for the Veeam Agent backup job and allow Veeam Backup & Replication to select suitable backup proxies for data transfer.

```
New-VBRSanIntegrationOptions -EnableSanSnapshots
```

::: example
### Example 2. Defining Veeam Agent Integration Settings with Specific General-purpose Backup Proxy

This example shows how to define integration settings and specify a backup proxy server for data transfer. Veeam Backup & Replication will create Veeam Agent backups from the storage snapshots using the specified backup proxy.

```
$proxy = Get-VBRComputerFileProxyServer -Name "File Proxy 01"
New-VBRSanIntegrationOptions -Proxy $proxy -EnableSanSnapshots
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRComputerFileProxyServer`](get-vbrcomputerfileproxyserver.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$proxy` variable.
2. Run the `New-VBRSanIntegrationOptions` cmdlet. Set the `$proxy` variable as the `Proxy` parameter value. Provide the `EnableSanSnapshots` parameter.
