Can I still use Windows backup to backup my VMware VM at Windows 2012 R2
Till date I am using Windows backup to backup my HyperV virtual machine at Windows server 2012 R2.
Now I am switching to VMware workstation 12 pro.
Can I still use Windows backup to backup my VMware VM including baremetal recovery option.

@Andrew Hancock Thanks a ton. You saved me before putting my foot forward.
Your welcome!
So you can copy vmdk to another hypervisor (VMWorkstation, ESXi) an make a new VM including the "old" vmdk. If you want to have a baremetal recovery option you must do this inside the OS of the VM.
