Limitations
vSphere 5.5 and older versions are supported only with the 10.0.6 Bacula FD or older.
Backups created using the vSphere Plugin are not compatible with Virtual Full jobs. Do not attempt to combine these two backup strategies as you will not be able to properly restore vSphere Plugin jobs from Virtual Full backups.
The vSphere Plugin uses the vStorage API to manipulate files and snapshots, this extension requires a valid, non-free VMware license.
The
restart
command has limitations with plugins, as it initiates the Job from scratch rather than continuing it. Bacula determines whether a Job is restarted or continued, but using therestart
command will result in a new Job.
