I’d definitely suggest updating to the latest version of VB&R first, since quite a lot of improvements have been implemented till these days.

It just doesn’t make a sense to continue using version which is 1.5 year old.

Thanks.

The latest product version (6.5) in contast to the one you're using (5.0) does have full vSphere 5.1 support and will backup VMs on 5.1 hosts.

More information regarding versions and made improvements can be found here.

Thanks.

If you're referring whether Veeam B&R 5.0 works with vSphere 5.1 or not. then the answer is no, you need to use the latest version for that.
