Avamar and VMware Fault Tolerance virtual guest

Does anyone one know if Avamar can backup a VMware virtual guest that has Fault Tolerance enabled on that vm?

Can't seem to find much documentation.

Thanks much,

Rip

    This is what I have found out in case this helps someone down the road.

     

    VMWare image level backups based on VADP rely on snapshots, which are not allowed when using FT’s.  So your other option is to do guest level backups (install the Avamar agent in the guest OS).
