Does Veeam Backup & Replication support VMware vSphere Hypervisor, a free bare-metal hypervisor?
Veeam Backup & Replication does not support VMware vSphere Hypervisor, a free bare-metal hypervisor, due to API limitations. The necessary vStorage APIs required for proper functionality are disabled by VMware in the free version of ESXi.
Free ESXi is not supported. Veeam Backup & Replication leverages vSphere and vStorage APIs that are disabled by VMware in free ESXi.
