Nakivo 11-11.1 is marking some of my VMs as unsupported for backup.

[CDprotector]

Hi, I already tested it like 5 months ago - still same problem on latest version 11.1 of Nakivo.

When I start Nakivo and add Proxmox node - it shows list of my VMs and some of them are greyed out and I cannot select them for backup.

After weeks of googling/proxmox forums and AI I still dont have solution from Nakivo.

So I used my test method - I make a CLONE of that VMs in Proxmox and then they are available for backup.

All VMs are same format - RAW - and are on NVME + SATA SSDs. Proxmox Backup server backs them all up without problems.

There is space for temporary files in storage so this should not be problem /its RAW so QCOW is not used anyway/.

Any ideas or help is welcome.
