Is Vmware fault tolerance supported?

Running vsphere 6.0, Netbackup 7.7.1 and wondering whether backups of vm's with fault tolerance enabled is supported.  I know vadp snapshot backups are supported in vsphere 6.0 according to VMware, but can't seem to find anything official specifying that Netbackup also supports it.

 

Thanks

  • Just some further info on this, I was able to successfully backup and restore a test VM with fault tolerance enabled.  However, support references this article https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000082651 and state it is not supported.  I am still questioning the accuracy of the article since VADP support only changed in vsphere 6 as noted on page 57 of this doc https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-60/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-60-availability-guide.pdf
