Thx CraigV but i think that this link is from 2008 , and my question is about BE 2012 ans SR 2011 !

ok , my issue is that when i am trying to backup a certain VMware using BE 2012 it fails , after contacting support they told me that is not possible due to a "Virtual machine has a SCSI controller with bus-sharing enabled." , is this will happen also if i used SR 2011 ?

Verbatim from the VMware KB - http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search...

Workaround

• Consider running backup software within your guest operating system as an alternative solution. 
• If your virtual machine currently has snapshots and it is preventing you from configuring bus-sharing, delete the snapshots.  For more information, see the Using Snapshots section of the vSphere Basic Administration Guide for your version of VMware ESX.

Have you considered installing RAWS on the virtual machine & backing it up via Backup Exec itself ?

SSR does not have a soecific option to Backup VMware, Backup Exec does.

As such SSR would be used as if the virtual machine is a phycisal machine with SSR installed inside it.

BE would still look at the VMDK files that make up the virtual machien and back those up
