Microsoft Hyper-V server 2016 and RD1000 backup

@matteo-nunziati I appreciate your humble opinion. What do you suggest? BTW for now I only have plans for 2 VMs.

Veeam free no scheduling must backup supervised.
can automate with task scheduler, but still only veeamzip. always full.
-
@jaredbusch So Veeam Free only does full backups? I was afraid of that. Altaro trial does continuous data protection but I think that will cease functioning when the trial plays out.

You would have to purchase the Unlimited Plus Edition.

It does full backups and then it does incremental up to the retention days you specify and as many times as you want in the day.

I wasn't aware of Veeam Backup Free Edition does incremental backups.

Then I must be Mistaken, this screen is for the Veeam agent free. If we are talking about the back up and replication free then I know what you’re referring to.
-
Veeam Agent running in free mode absolutely does do incremental backups.
-
Yup, I also confirm the Free agent does incremental backups and all that good stuff:

Yep, That’s what I noted, just not sure if previously the topic was referring to Veeam Bsckup and replication free.
-
FFS @dbeato for not reading the fucking thread. No one was fucking talking about Veeam Agent.
FFS to @NashBrydges and @Obsolesce for dogpiling without a clue.

Because it doesn't.

Perhaps a quick synopsis of all the versions of "free" veeam and paid veeam would be in order from those in the know.

No. Because they are totally different products doing totally different things.

You can use the name. The problem that Veeam runs into is that they have a specific name but it sounds too close to a description and person X often things that person Y is describing a product, like "free backup from Veeam" which could be any free product from Veeam. But they actually said "Veeam Backup Free" which is a product name.

I apologize for not making myself clear. Altaro VM Backup – Free Edition vs. Veeam Backup Free Edition- "The must-have tool for VMware VShpere and Microsoft Hyper-V" is what I should have said. I have Altaro installed now when time permits reinstall Hyper-V with a larger volume. At that point I will probably install the Veeam product.

It was clear, people just didn't catch the name. You used the right name.

No. Because they are totally different products doing totally different things.
Hence why a synopsis was needed.

Well if you have just 2vm altaro free gives you the same as paid version with the exception of azure block storage. So I would go altaro.
Other suggested solutions are agent non agentless. They run from within the vm not from outside (hypervisor level)
