I haven't really had time to check.
Can I easily move my VM's from XenServer to KVM?Edit: If I use Veeam agent to create ISO's & backups, I should be ok. I'm guessing.
There was a python script I had used at one point to convert xva files to qcow2. It was just easier to rebuild, but I do all Linux based stuff so I don't know how easy or hard Windows would be.

Crap news about Xenserver, Scott was pretty bang on with how this was going to end up, such a shame as I've loved using Xenserver...

Veeam doesn't work on modern Linux OSs, last I checked. You need to use an old out-dated version of Linux to use Veeam agent.
At least with Fedora.
I'm running Veeam on Ubuntu 17.04 now. It's not the latest release yet. I just haven't upgraded.

Veeam Endpoint Backup is not functional on Fedora 26+ Maybe 25+ I lost track.
It is buried in a thread here somewhere.

I used it with Ubuntu 16.04 server and it worked just fine. I backed up the machine and restored it to a new virtual machine.

I don't use Ubuntu in any circumstances that would require being backed up.
It must be a Fedora thing.
Anyone try CentOS?

It does support CentOS 7.x

Distro with slow releases seems to be the easiest for Veeam to support.

They should open source the agent and let the community help keep it updated.

I understand. I don't necessarily like it either, but sometimes you don't have a choice.

FreeNAS 11.1 releases. Whatever happen to the FreeNAS 10 family? Oh yeah, it was so bad that they skipped the numbers completely.
