Cause

Microsoft implemented a modernized VMware stack  which is not compatible with the recent Azure SDK libraries used by Backup Exec. Considering this limitation, Backup Exec discontinued the Instant Cloud Recovery feature for VMWare workloads. Instant Cloud Recovery should continue to work with Hyper V replicated workloads.
