Hello everyone
Now, I am using some VMs on XenServer and looking for the most suitable backup software.
The wide spectrum of these products dazzles me. Could you do me a favour to recommend me some?Thanks a lot in advance.
Are you referring to Citrix Hypervisor or XCP-NG? Do you only need a backup solution or would a full management solution be better?

I've been using the open source version for years.

Sorry, I did not get my question clear.
I am using XCP-ng Hypervisor and hoping to get a backup solution combining backup with management. Any good advice? -
@danp
Thank you Danp. I will have a try. -

Edit as I didn't add it last night you can use my github process to install the Open Source edition without having to do much of anything, follow this link.

Veeam Backup and Replication is hands down insanely great, and free up to 10 backed up systems.

Free with limits and no administrative function or completely limitless and has administration functions...

I wasn't aware that this product worked with Xenserver / XCP-ng.

It only works within the guests not at the hypervisor.
