Hi Dmitry,
is it still true that you can not snapshop RDMs? I thought that vRDM's do support snapshotting.

Here is a link from VMWare:

If you are using a raw disk in virtual mode, you can realize the benefits of VMFS, such as advanced file locking for data protection and snapshots for streamlining development processes.

Hi ece,
Yes RDMs in virtual compatibility mode are supported for snapshots and therefore can be backed up. Dmitry was referring to RDMs in physical compatibility mode only.
Thank you.

Hi Vasily,
so VMP8 does not support backing up machines with physical RDMs?

Hi ece,
These machines will be backed up, but RDM drives in physical compatibility mode will be skipped and therefore not included into the backup.
Thank you.
