Last weekend the final version of Veeam Backup and Replication Update 1 was released.
VMware vSphere 6.5 is now fully supported.
The vSphere 6.5 support adds the following features:

I’ve wrote down the few steps to install the update.
At the beginning of the new year Veeam has built the Release Candidate for Veeam Backup and Replication 9.5 Update 1.
With this update it is possible to backup VMs running on vSphere 6.5. You have to open a case at Veeam to get the Release Candidate. Remeber: Those updates are only for testing. Productive support will come with the official update!
After upgrade to the new version of Veeam Backup and Replication (9.5) you could get a failure within your Microsoft Exchange Backups.
The Backup runs even normal and ends apparently successful. But the logs are not being truncated and the event logs might shows an event ID 2034.
