Unless VIC is "unsupported method and one that VMware doesn’t want used for moving data in/out of ESXi". VMware just does not want people sitting on free ESXi, simple as that. Everything else (restricting public APIs, updating EULAs) are just measures to achieve the ultimate goal. Otherwise, why would VMware disable all public APIs on free ESXi as of Update 4? Try to create snapshot with ESXi object browser on U4 (public API), and then on any previous update. You will get "restricted version" error with U4. Oops.

Was it really the market pressure of Free vs. Non-free or was it that Veeam was using an unsupported method and one that VMware doesn't want used for moving data in/out of ESXi? We will never know until Veeam/VMware comment, otherwise it is all speculative... Instead of the speculation, maybe we should expect Veeam/VMware why?
