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. 

Operating System

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2019 (Standard, Datacenter)
  • Microsoft Windows Server 2016 (Standard, Datacenter)
