happy wednesday morning to all. sunny at present but expecting rain, cold but not freezing.
looking at veeam one today as i want a single console to look at and monitor backup jobs.
what's an open source backup solution i could use in place of veeam? needs to back up hyper-v vms, windows servers etc. I have 8 schools, all backup hyper-v vms. Also need to do file/folder backups.For file/folder backups:
- For Windows, you can use robocopy
- For Linux, you can use rsync, borgbackup, restic, etc...
- UrBackup
- Bacula
- Syncthing
Set up Syncthing on all your VMs and your backup host.
Your VMs will have file versioning set to "No File Versioning" which is set by default.
Your backup host, will have file versioning set to "Simple File Versioning".
Have all your VMs sync their files and folders to your backup host.
More information at https://docs.syncthing.net/
Here's a screenshot of my setup right now. You manage Syncthing via a web interface.
Hey thanks for the help. Could you use syncthing to backup VMs? They're just files.
I've only tried backing up offline VMs.

That is the entire point of Veeam. It makes a snapshot, the copies off that now static file to be the backup..it also snags the VM xml, and if integration is fully set up, tells things in the vm to go to a ready state prior to the snapshot being made.

do we have any veeam experts? I'm trying to add a remote server to another server's console and can't get past the 'Credentials' step.
I'm using Community Edition, I'm starting to think it can't be done with that version. -

@nadnerB thanks mate. I think it may be environment specific, think some ports are closed.

always had trouble finding open ports.
