Solution
- Starting with vSphere 6, Virtual Machines with Fault Tolerance enabled can be snapshotted via APIs, allowing Veeam Backup & Replication to back up and replicate Fault Tolerant VMs – just like any other VMs.
- Starting with Veeam Backup & Replication 8 Update 2 (8.0.0.2030), VMs with Fault Tolerance enabled can be backed up and replicated.
- Legacy Fault Tolerant VMs must have Fault Tolerance re-enabled after vSphere 6 upgrade using vSphere Web Client to enable this capability.
Fault Tolerance Support Requirements
- Veeam Backup & Replication 8 Update 2 (build 8.0.0.2030) or higher
- VMware vSphere 6 or higher
More Information
For information regarding Veeam-vSphere version compatibility, see KB2443.
