EVE-NG Pro ESXI VM Backup

Hi,
I have bought Eve-NG Pro yesterday and I'm really satisfied.
I've read that if I don't want to lose the license I have to backup the entire VM folder.
Now, can I just backup the vm files or I need to backup also vmdk files?
Currently I'm using Veeam Backup and Replication Enterprise to backup my other virtual machines, if I'll use veeam will I lose the license?
Thanks

Actually true, you can backup all folder except vmdk...
as backup you can add new hdd and install vmdk again using ISO
Of course all labs, images will be lost..
but as light lic backup, its OK

sir,
esxi VM of EVE is not bare !
It is VM machine which you can backup if you want.
Bare EVE means that EVE is installed stright on server onthe linux, NO ESXI !
For eve installation on esxi please read our cookbook
