Hi,

 

To confirm:

 

You’ve got a VM that you’re replicating via vSphere Replication, and you want to backup the replicated copy of the VM with Veeam?

Hello, I never try this. I know it’s possible to backup a replica create with Veeam with some recommendations.

  • CBT cannot be utilized when backing up replica VMs
  • Make sure replication jobs do not overlay with your backup ones. Otherwise, multiple issues will be expected

You can run in to issue backing up VMs that have vSphere Replication enabled on them.  I am trying to find the post on the community where someone was getting an error during backup and when I do I will post it.  But as per Stabz those things apply.
