And I can’t tell you because I can’t install the motherfucking thing.

I had to turn off blocking for a few minutes for another task that was getting messed up. So I clicked through this also.

Turns out that I should not have bothered.

The version I got doesn't seem to support XenServer?

Not at the hypervisor / platform level. You need to work with agents the same as if it was physical. Doesn't work with ESXi Free, either.

ESXi Free version has no backup API's... that's the issue.

Unitrends replication is a feature that is reserved for paid options. You can archive a copy of your local backups to a cloud target like Amazon S3 or similar, though.

Ran across the following the other day on this page:

Free Upgrade
Limited Time Offer: As part of our continued commitment to making backup easier, we are unifying our software products. As a first step in this process, now Unitrends Virtual Backup users can get a free upgrade to Unitrends Enterprise Backup. Future versions of Unitrends data protection software will combine the enterprise-class engine in Unitrends Enterprise Backup and an enhanced version of the user interface of Unitrends Virtual Backup v8.

I assume this will eventually be available in the "free" version. Anyone know for sure? @KatieUnitrends

Unitrends Virtual Backup(UVB), Unitrends Enterprise Backup (UEB) and UnitrendsFree are three different products. The offer you mention above is for paid users of UVB only. Also, as has been stated a few times in this thread, UnitrendsFree is only licensed to protect VMware & Hyper-V clients. Please let me know what questions you may have.

Makes what Katie just posted kinda difficult. 😉

Yeah, I've noticed that even in the Unitrends Community, which is the forum for the community edition (aka Unitrends Free). Unitrends employes have been giving different answers to the same questions. I'm wonderg if they aren't basing their answers off some internal version rather than the Unitrends free public beta. They also said on the forums that the disk based exclusions currently are not working even if selected in the GUI, I don't even have the option for that. So, I'm guessing it's that the non working features are not in the public beta.

Hmmmm... how many Euros I wonder?

about 1,400

That's silly since they said that they were not monitoring it and they were just trusting you to only use 1TB as it is.

In two weeks you get a phone call: SAM, I see you are using 1.6 TB of source data on our free Unitrends package... Would you like to upgrade now?

For we can settle this in court. haha. Buy or else.
