Note: For the REFS file system on any type of volume, the staging VM should be either the source backup set OS version or the next higher version for a successful browse and subsequent restore. For example, if the source backup set is Windows 2016, then the supported OS versions of the staging VM are 2016, 2019, and 2022.
Druva backup proxy supports backup and restore of virtual machines on the following vSAN versions:
Notes:
Backup proxy for VMware virtual infrastructure integrates with ESX and vSPhere vStorage API (VADP) to perform backup and restore.
If the ESX/vSphere host is not licensed for the vStorage APIs, the backup and restore operations fail.
