Agentless is preferred as i need something i can just "hand over" if i leave or someone needs to restore as i don't want people having to install extra software into VM's. As most people here are "Windows" men, i wouldn't trust them in a Linux environment
This sound counterproductive to what you want than. Linux is simple and damn stable if it's known how to use the system.
Going with XO and XCP-ng is the polar opposite of your complaint about the "Windows men" though. While Hyper-V isn't Windows, it can look and feel exactly like Windows.
This might be worth a separate discussion though.

@dustinb3403 No all the VM's are Linux. I don't want "Windows" people logging in and trying to install agents
Veeam B&R "server" needs to be on a Windows machine, i don't want to pay for a Server License just to run backup software.
Why would you have them install the agent, just have it as a part of the template and it's already there when any new VM is created with that template.

Yeah but Hyper-V needs soooooo many hoops to jump through just to get the manager to work on a client machine.
-
@hobbit666 this is true, but it's the Windows standard.
A windows 10 system with the hyper-v manager role and you connect and manage the hyper-v fleet.
I agree that XO and XCP-ng can make it easy, but anyone using a tool they aren't familiar with at all can and will cause issues.

This is the problem, i've never been able to just install Hyper-V on a server then enable the Manager on a machine and it "Just" work. There has always been an issue with connection, with security, firewalls etc etc.
So a simple install this, install that then you login via a web interface

If the goal is a free backup solution and to use Hyper-V, why not veeam free using VeeamZip.
Is agentless a set-in-stone requirement?
Agentless is preferred as i need something i can just "hand over" if i leave or someone needs to restore as i don't want people having to install extra software into VM's. As most people here are "Windows" men, i wouldn't trust them in a Linux environment
As mentioned the host runs just Linux based machines so don't want to go out and buy a Win license just for the backup software.
You don't have to install Veeam on a VM on the host. Do you not have some random service desktop running Windows that can also run Veeam?

Dealing with Intuit, damn these guys are unprofessional.

That's what we use. Vast improvement.

Has anyone tried osTicket v1.11.0-rc1 on Fedora?

@black3dynamite Nope, but I should investigate it. .

It provides show much more useful information about the VMs.

If I remember correctly, the issue I had when installing osTicket 1.10 on Fedora was related to the PHP version.

Ours is on CentOS 7 for that reason, if I remember correctly.

just got home,... trying to catch up here,.. was out early to go to a remote site as they has a dispatch position down. Omg - it hurts to think I can't just do what I would normally do to trouble shoot a failed hard drive,.. or have the tools / resources to just fix it....
We have to wait for a hard drive to be shipped from the vendor,.. with the OS and software installed.... I don't have the resources available to me to just take care of it.... and no / I mean... NO spares. Of anything.
How is it that this is 'okay' in the Emergency Management arena.

Thanks all, given me a few things to think about.
@JaredBusch yeah was thinking of sticking veeam on our citrix controller
