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
