Creating VeeamZIP Files for VMware Cloud Director VMs

You can create a VeeamZIP file for one or more VMware Cloud Director VMs.

When Veeam Backup & Replication creates a VeeamZIP file for a VMware Cloud Director VM, it backs up a VM as separate object. Veeam Backup & Replication does not capture metadata of the vApp to which the VM belongs. When you restore a VMware Cloud Director VM from the VeeamZIP file, Veeam Backup & Replication registers the VM on the underlying ESXi host and does not register the VM in VMware Cloud Director.

The process of VeeamZIP files creation for VMware Cloud Director VMs does not differ from that for regular VMware VMs. For more information, see Creating VeeamZIP Files.
