Druva does not certify VMware vCenter Server versions 5.5 and 5.1. However, backups and restores on these setups should work as expected. Druva strongly recommends you to upgrade the VMware vCenter Server to the latest supported version. Refer to the article for more information about the end of the general support for vSphere 5.5.
Guest operating systems
Druva Phoenix qualifies virtual machines with the following guest operating systems for backup. However, any guest operating system should work if the virtual machine snapshot(VMware tools quiescing turned ON) works fine.

Note: Druva Phoenix performs image-level backups of virtual machines. So, unless you plan to enable application-aware processing for a virtual machine, Druva Phoenix continues to back up the virtual machine with any guest operating system. |

Note:
-

-
If the ESX/vSphere host is not licensed for the vStorage APIs, the backup and restore operations fail.
