Data Mover is started automaticaly on destination Windows repository. IMHO best answer is C.
The common requirement for offsite backup is that one Veeam Data Mover runs in the production site (closer to the source datastore), and the other Veeam Data Mover runs in the remote site, closer to the backup repository. During backup, Veeam Data Movers maintain a stable connection, which allows for uninterrupted operation over the WAN or slow links.
To back up to a Microsoft Windows or Linux repository in the remote site, you need to deploy a backup proxy in the production site, closer to the source datastore. In this scenario, the source-side Veeam Data Mover is started on the backup proxy, and the target-side Veeam Data Mover is started on the Microsoft Windows or Linux repository. VM data is sent from the backup proxy to the backup repository over the WAN.
