VMware 7.0.2 with BE 21.2R2

[Samu]

Dear all,

We are setting up a test environment with the following elements:
-VMware Cluster with two ESXi nodes and vCenter 7.0.2
-Fujitsu Eternus DX200S5 storage cabinet
-Backup Exec 21.2R2

In the virtual layer we have several Windows Server 2019 VMs with Fault Tolerance active, could you confirm what is the current integration of these FT machines in Backup Exec backups and restores for specified versions of the involved products?

At least, we have checked that backups can be completed directly from vCenter, without the need of additional agents.

How we should perform a complete restore of a FT VM?

Thank you very much for your help.

BR,
Samu
