to Tape, what can i do for it?

Please help me!!

Not exactly. You have to install Veeam B&R management server itself on a physical server to be able to perform tape backups. However, we are planning to support libraries and standalone drives connected to Veeam B&R proxy servers in one of the next releases.

Another question is if i have NFS and SAN storages,
now , i want to backup the date from NFS to SAN ,and then

Could you please elaborate on this scenario, are you talking about copying backup files from one storage to another with subsequent tape offload? Or is NFS storage your primary storage where running VMs reside?

What can i do for it?

Depending on type of copying data, you can use either combination of file copy and file to tape jobs, or combination of backup copy and file to tape jobs. Thanks.

My VMware is installed in NFS storage (NetApp), and i have another SAN storage(HP P2000),
I want to backup my VM by Veeam B&R to SAN storage and Tape,
But now I don't know how to do it .

1) Create backup jobs, pointing them to SAN device.
2) Create backup to tape jobs, using newly-created backup jobs as a source for them.

This way, you will have both backups on disk, and archived copies on tape mediums.

Thanks.
