Veeam: Processing Server01 Error: VM hardware version 14 is not supported by destination host (version 6.0)

Went to offline backup (replication) one Virtual Machine (VM).

But got an error:

Processing Server01 Error: VM hardware version 14 is not supported by destination host (version 6.0)

Required to downgrade the VM first.

As had a vCenter Converter, could simply run it to downgrade the VM. 

 

Currently, because of vCenter Converter unavailable from Vmware. Another way can be:

Create a new virtual machine with required hardware version and attach the existing disk from the virtual machine. [1]
