Does BDRSuite support backup of VMware VMs on Free ESXi?
Yes, BDRSuite offers agent-based backup for VMware virtual machines on Free ESXi. Since the VADP (VMware vStorage APIs for Data Protection) is not available on Free ESXi, which is essential for agentless backup, the agent-based method is utilized instead.
