duplicate VMs

I have 2 VMs that appear to be connected and pointing to the same environment. In the console of one, if I type something it appears in the console of the other. I use VEEAM to backup but it is failing as it is getting confused as if I try to backup one it places it temporary snapshot in the other and fails. The file location of the disk file is different between each VM. Im afraid to shut one down in case I lose everything. I know which VM is the primary one I want to keep. I have renamed the 'duplicate' VM but VEEAM is still failing.
Any thoughts in how to resolve this please?

Thanks

Are you using VMware Fault Tolerance (FT) feature on that VM?

What are the vmware and veeam versions you are using in your environment?

Hi,

No fault tolerance implemented.

VEEAM - 11.0.0.837

VMware ESXi, 6.7.0, 17499825

vSphere Client version 6.7.0.44000

Thanks

Mark
