Performing Image-Level Backups

 If Fault Tolerance (FT) is enabled for a virtual machine, the plug-in will not
allow you to select it for a backup.
If this feature is enabled after including a virtual machine in a backup job, the
plug-in will not back it up. For such virtual machines, the following message
will be added to the job logs: “Cannot backup VM – Fault Tolerance is
enabled for the VM.”
 You can select virtual machines that are part of a Virtual Application (vApp)
along with the other virtual machines. Currently, the plug-in does not provide
any indicators on the Selections tab to distinguish between such virtual
machines from other virtual machines that are not part of a vApp.
 If you select a vApp node, only the virtual machines comprising the vApp are
backed up. The metadata for the vApp is not included in the backup.
