Re: VMs backup together with snapshots?

That's what you mean. The complete snapshot chain should be preserved and it should also be possible to restore the snapshot chain with the virtual machine. I understand.

 

I was assuming you mean that snapshots should be considered and that's what Veeam does. It takes the current state. For example, if you have 3 snapshots and the last one is active, this state will be backed up. If you revert to snapshot 1, Veeam will back up this running state.

 

But I don't know any backup software that can back up snapshot chains, too.

 

In general, VMware recommends not using snapshots for more than a few days anyway. So a backup would only make sense in a few cases.
