ESA VM Backup

[llomjaria]

Hello,

I have question regarding ESA virtual machine backup. Is it possible (supported) to do it using backup tools like Veeam, etc?

Another question is: How to schedule automatic configuration backup?

I would suggest taking backup regularly :

Good thread :

VM snapshot is not good as I feel, rather take a backup and you can restore if any issue with a new installation.
