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.

There are no limitations.

You can also use Veeam free edition (anything under 1TB of data)
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.

Ummm..... No.

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?

FYI, there is no OVA for the free one - you have to manually download some packages and do the install yourself, there is no image.
-
@Dashrender right, the free version has to be installed manually.
-
Part of the issue here is calling something "the free one." XO offers itself in multiple free ways. A fully free install with zero limitations and the XOA which is also free but very limited. XO itself has no limitations. The "free one" does depending on if you opt for the full or limited one.
But there is no question: All XO features are available for free.
-
This is VERY unclear. Where are instructions to install the "real" free version?
