      @JaredBusch Couldn't have said this better myself. I received the email from Veeam about the increase too, but all my current licenses are good through Dec 2020.
      If there was a good backup solution for KVM, I would have zero Hyper-V hosts.

      I think I heard Vembu does this. I don't use anything like this though but may be worth a look.

        @scottalanmiller Well ok, that looks promising for those who need that.

          Yeah but is it free or a 30 day trial?

          There are two links to the same location, one which makes it look like it's free the other which clearly is not.

            Try finding a download, though. Doens't look all that promising once you look into it.

              @scottalanmiller Yeah its a starting point. Don't know if it will work how he wants it or not. I just remembered reading on a blog somewhere that it was being used.

                You should consider new comer LXD to the mix, especially if your just running Linux VMs.

                Like everyone used it say nothing wrong in it, and fully featured and impressive it just not battle-tested as much as KVM, but still its very futuristic. I would go with KVM standalone and use RHEL or RHEL variant for it.

                    This one here.

                    I had trouble with a few of the exercises but not many. I'm sure there are more current things now too but this was a starting point for me and I plan to do more someday. It did give me a really good idea of how things work in the background. I'm a book person too, I went over every example.

                        One downside to KVM (in virt-manager) is lack of snapshots for UEFI VMs.
