- Why do you worry about these things with agent based and not with agentless, even though they are equal and both affected by them just the same?
Because I install altaro have a single admin interface an can backup delta vm in a few minutes.
Sure, but Veeam agentless will do that, too. There are good options in both directions.
Sure. My point was: I'm not aware of a win/linux solution agent based with central management which costs less then agentless. Therefore when I deployed kvm it was with some mix and match stuff got from github and glued into some.bash script. Ok for me but not really nice to offload to others. My ignorance about Good non diy backup solutions is the only reason I do not deploy kvm again.
Grr... Damn phone. Lot of typos...

I see. UrBackup is free, for example. Veeam Agent based is similar in price to their agentless.

My biggest questions with KVM still revolve around backup solutions for it.
Don't expect a solution from Veeam until KVM (RHEL/CentOS/Fedora etc) has CBT in the o/s.

Is it available from the kernel?

Where?

I’m curious if BTRFS and ZFS can do CBT?

Anyone see this yet?

I’m in the same boat. I’m investigating Bacula, IBM Spectrum, and Commvault… but it seems that Veeam still has an edge.

Yeah sadly Borg isn't cross platform but it's decent for a central Linux backup repo.

They do for snapshotting. ZFS is reference on write. I think btrfs is the same. Then you need to compress and export snapshots.

Yeah I think that's what this addresses...

https://github.com/datto/dattobdI really want to test it out but haven't had a chance to yet.
