Backup of FT protected VM's and kubernetes cluster

[tomas.olsen]

Hello,

I wounder how to backup of FT protected vm's. We have a few VM's that are protected by FT, both windows and linux.

And we have a kubernetes cluster running in test that I want to backup up. Kubernetes vm's have independent disks....

Hi Tomas, here's the thread discussing FT. As for the independent disks, then they are skipped from processing automatically due to inability to create snapshot.

I had to try, so I created a new backup job, and added one of the FT protected vm's, disabled Guest Processing and VMware quiescence and the backup job ran just fine. I could only see one vm when I added the vm to a new job. Not sure if it is the master or the secondary vm. But that should not make difference I guess. The backup ran with NBD.

When I run a powershell script to check FT, the script lists two vm's with the same name and they are listed as FaultTorelanceState=running and RecordReplayState=inactive.

What would be the prefered method of backup of a virtual kubernetes cluster running on vsphere, from Veeams point of view?
