Hello @Divesh Wadhwa ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A community forum!

Apologies for the delayed response. Please perform the following steps.

Azure Backup Server uses TLS 1.1 by default to communicate with the ESXI host.

ESXI host version 6.7 only support TLS 1.2 protocol.

To configure backup ESXI 6.7 perform the following:

· Enable TLS 1.2 on Azure Backup Server

Note: VMWare 6.7 onwards had enabled TLS as communication protocol.

· Set the registry keys as follows:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft.NETFramework\v2.0.50727] "SystemDefaultTlsVersions"=dword:00000001 "SchUseStrongCrypto"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft.NETFramework\v4.0.30319] "SystemDefaultTlsVersions"=dword:00000001 "SchUseStrongCrypto"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft.NETFramework\v2.0.50727] "SystemDefaultTlsVersions"=dword:00000001 "SchUseStrongCrypto"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft.NETFramework\v4.0.30319] "SystemDefaultTlsVersions"=dword:00000001 "SchUseStrongCrypto"=dword:00000001

Also remove and add again the VMware account on the Azure Backup Server

*Communication should work between Azure Backup Server and ESXI

*Install the agents in the VMs

@Divesh Wadhwa With Azure backup server you can backup the data to a local storage and the same data can be backed up to recovery services vault in Azure. That way you have data on premise as well as in the cloud.

If you are planning for business continuity disaster recovery solution (BCDRS), I recommend Azure site recovery as best option - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/site-recovery/avs-tutorial-replication
