Purpose
This article documents support for backup, restore, and replication of virtual machine workloads running on the initial Azure Stack HCI by Veeam Backup & Replication.
Initial support for Azure Stack HCI OS was provided starting in Veeam Backup & Replication v11.
Azure Stack HCI OS is a hyper-converged operating system delivered as a service with a dedicated release cycle deployed on-premises with ties to Azure for licensing.
Solution
The table below lists supported versions of Azure Stack HCI and the minimum Veeam Backup & Replication version required.
Note:
Replication from older versions to newer versions of Hyper-V is supported, and it is possible to replicate virtual machines from Hyper-V to Azure Stack HCI. When doing this, the virtual machine configuration version increases.
Replication requires the VM's configuration version to be compatible with the destination host. For this reason, it may not be possible to replicate from a newer version of Azure Stack HCI, or Hyper-V, to an older version.
