What Are You Doing Right Now

@hobbit666 What version of ESXi are you using?
-
-
@hobbit666 Yeah but essentials plus, or the free edition or what?
I guess version is a bit misleading, sorry.

@DustinB3403 LOL Free

@DustinB3403 Email is actually more appropriate, with maybe a text to say I sent an email take a look. After 9pm unless there is an outage don't bother employees at home.
Email is,.. but it's one of those things for me at least - I have my phone set with DnD hours. After 9pm I won't hear it. Texts, Emails and most calls won't be noticed unless I pick up my phone and look.
Now if you repeat call, or if you are in my list,.. then I will. but again that is calls.. not emails or texts. heck - my phone won't even pull new mail like it suppose to.. and it's set to.
Come August - iPhone 6 or something...

So what sort of backup system do you plan to use, clearly nothing at the Hypervisor level. 11 VM's seems like a very trivial amount of VM's to migrate to Xen Server.
-
@DustinB3403 Unitrends Free - Backup to Local NAS daily then weekly to something like RDX (just in case) as I said these are mainly things like unifi controller, Zabbix, our Gold Windows image for deployment etc. so not mission critical if they disappear and I have to restore an old version.

Is Unitrends Free applicable to the free version of ESXi?
I didn't know that if it was.

They can never decide. We literally get a different answer every time that we ask. And often the explanation contradicts the answer. So we assume.... no.

But if it is working, then yes.

If you can install an agent - why not? Don't worry about the ESXi APIs.

Nothing can backup ESXi for free via API. This restrictions is 100% locked by VMWare.
If you open SSH you can use scripts to do so under the hood that make a snapshot and SCP it off.
Unitrends markets that they can backup ESXi Free because they have the agent. That is not a VM backup and should not be considered one. It is a Server OS backup.

I've asked about that several times and been told that Unitrends Free doesn't allow for agents to do this. Which is where the confusion has come from. Because obviously only an agent could possibly do it since the API doesn't exist. But when I ask if we can install agents, I'm told no.
(We used paid Unitrends and have never used ESXi Free, so we never run into it internally.)
