We've held off upgrading to v6 due to a couple of the remaining known issues.
While the FAQ clearly states v 5 does not support vsphere5, I was wondering if anyone had tried running veeam5 backups with only vcenter upgraded to v5 while esx hosts still on v4?

Re: query on v5 - vsphere 5 support
Hi Andrew, actually Veeam B&R v5 does support vSphere 5. Please refer to this KB1311 article for more info.

Re: query on v5 - vsphere 5 support
Thanks Vitaly.
All good, however had another issue.
For anyone going through the same thing, you may notice duplicate datastores after upgrading Vcenter to V5 - the previous copy becomes inactive and Veeam cannot connect with a SOAP error similar to:
Strangely, the file it points to is actually a VM template.
Fix is to remove any templates from the VC inventory at which point the duplicate datastores immediately disappear.
Veeam can then connect, and jobs runs OK.
