Backup a physical HDD in a VM?

[Netsn00p]

Hi,

Does VEEAM meanwhile have the possibility to backup a physical HDD in a VM? And if so, from which version?

Thanks.


Kind regards,
Christian

Hello,
we have physical machine backup since many years (2015). Feel free to use the Veeam Agent for Windows or Linux for those "Frankenstein machines".

Best regards,
Hannes

PS: nobody can back up "outside virtualization platform data" with backup methods that are built for virtual environments. It's impossible to apply a VMware / Hyper-V snapshot to something that is outside VMware / Hyper-V

Thank you for your answer.

Unfortunately, we have an old infrastructure here with some "Frankenstein machines".

I will then back up the machines via agent as if they were physical machines. As a workaround, they won't run much longer anyway.


Kind regards,
Christian
