Status of Backup Exec 2014 and RDM

Hello.

Customer is still using BE 2010 R3 SP4.

Due to some ugly bugs which are still unresolved, customer thinks about changing to BackupExec 2014.

The question which arises before is:

What is the state of backing up VMs which have RDMs attached via VMware Agent? GRT is not needed for those machines?

With BE 2010 there was an unsupported way of excluding certain vmdks from backup which was somewhat upgly but did the job in this scenario.

I know that Symnatec suggests to backup those machine with traditional agent as if they were physical servers, but all guys which are in the same boat know that this is not an option for obvious resons.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Kind Regards

harsi.
