Third-party backup vendors that are using the VMware VDDK may encounter backup or restore issues when backing up VMware vSphere environments.” “This article describes an issue with the VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit (VDDK) that may cause backup and restore operations to hang or fail. Here’s what the KB article actually says (emphasis added): “During these weeks of close examination VMware also confirmed that any 3rd party vendor depending on the current API cannot perform consistent backups and cannot ensure a reliable recovery point” “During our testing with the VMware vStorage 5.1 API Symantec discovered issues* that introduce data recovery risks“ Here’s a screenshot of the original that is quoted below. Symantec even used this language in their original blog post that has since been updated. This is a very bold, public claim since VMware itself states in the KB that the issue is intermittent. Here’s a Tweet sent out from the official Backup Exec account using the #Recoverynightmare tag: Symantec went on a campaign to scare people from using Veeam and more importantly to scare them from upgrading to vSphere 5.1. We believe this creative FUD was created just to explain why Symantec still does not support the latest vSphere release – unlike Veeam which does support it. While we’d like to think that Symantec did this as a service to their customers, we believe this is just another example of a Symantec trying to use scare tactics against their biggest competitor, Veeam. In this post they made insinuations that backup vendors claiming support for vSphere 5.1 were misleading their customers and putting them into unsafe recoverability conditions. Last week Symantec published a blog post scaring all VMware customers about backups on vSphere 5.1.
