Backing up FT VMware

Hi All,

I have two virtual machines on Vcenter configured as Fault tolerence. I have installed VMware and HYper-V agent on ESXi host to take backup of vuirtual machines. But I am not able to take the backup of FT machine.

 

I have read many articles but all says that it is not possible to take snapshot backup of FT machine and only work around is to power OFF FT while taking .vmdk backup. This is a non compliance to my client.

 

Please help me with any work around that can help to take .vmdk backup of FT virtual machine.

This is due to limitation which is mentioned in VMware article :
