      folks like HA lizard. i've not tinkerd with xen much. one of my favorites for HV so far though is Altaro.... if you ever get the HV bug.

      HAL is HA, doesn't address backups.

        What should I use for backup? Just a home lab 🙂

        XenOrchestra has some built-in backup stuff, I do believe.

        Paging @johnhooks and @DustinB3403

        XO seems to be the tool for this these days.

                Not the free VM image, but if you download the open source version it does.

                  Actually it does I'm using it in my work lab at the moment. Completely functional. 100% free.

                    There are NO limitations in the free XO version. That's the very reason that XO popped into the community was to refute that myth a few weeks ago. They pointed out that they are completely open source and everything is available for free (without support, of course.)

                    Dustin has been backing up from the free XO now all week.

                      What about patching? And Exporting VM's?

                        Both are free in the open source version. I think you're looking at the XOA, which is pre-built by them.

                            I thought Veeam didn't support XS? or are you talking about the End Point Protection free version?

                                The version that works on the VM, rather than at the hypervisor.

                                StorageCraft would do this as well, but I don't believe there is a free version.

                                  No free SC version, but all versions are fully featured.

                                    Any agent based solution I have to assume work work with XS because it assumes the OS is baremetal installed (or at least doesn't care where it's installed at all).

                                      Correct. VMs don't know that they are VMs. So agents always work.

                                          It just is. Sorry. You have the XOA as has been mentioned a few times above. You are NOT looking at the free version but the XOA Demo of the Enterprise one. Get the real free one, there are NO limitations.

                                            @DustinB3403 can you do an export from your free version to show him?
