I would like to suggest a feature request for B&R. I have an ESXi host with a GPU card installed however I can not backup the VMs that have the PCI-passthrough device added since they can not be snapshotted. The issues lies in the way Veeam uses snapshots to backup VMs and because the PCI-passthrough device does not allow snapshotting, I can not backup these VMs. A way around this is to purchase Veeam endpoint but the issue with this is I would either have too many or too few licenses. I would like to to see Veeam B&R see these VMs as not able to backup normally and either push or suggest to push the endpoint client and backup them as part of the main job. IE not creating a new job just for these VMs. Because my licensing covers this host, I should not have to purchase another software pice to back them up.
If I were trying to backup a physical machine I would need and agree to purchase endpoint backup licenses (and do) but since I have VMs and licenses that cover this host, I should be able to backup regardless of Veeams inherent limitations only using snapshots. I also do not have a SAN and am not able to utilize that option either.
