I have been using proxmox and XCP-NG for quite a while now with no issues. Whats your view on this move made by Microsoft. You have support until 2024 on the 2019 edition.
This is sad, but not surprising. You pay per core per month for Azure stack HCI (the replacement) according to what I found quick.
Reading the Veeam Backup Free Edition it appears it installs the console on windows Server or Windows Desktop. Does that sound right? I installed Altaro on the Hyper-V host itself. I don't know which setup would be better though. Comments appreciated.
