Is there an AgentLess backup solution that will do ESXi (paid), Hyper-V and XenServer?

I believe that Unitrends is the only solution that attempts to do this and apparently cannot be done from a single install to do it. No one goes after a fully cross platform environment like that.
Of course, maybe the bigger question is, why do you need this?

I wonder if the Unitrends physical appliance solves the issue.

Robocopy?

Well in an ever evolving hypervisor world think it would be a nice touch, so solution to cover all out there under one roof, also I have esxi at main office soon Xenserver but have a hyperv in a sub office so be nice to have a single solution for dr purpose

Veeam can at least backup Hyper-V and ESXi without any agent AFAIK.

@scottalanmiller Would you call rsync an agent?

Yes. It needs to be installed, run and managed from inside of the OS. All of the limitations of a client apply to it.

So can Unitrends. And sometimes XenServer with Unitrends, but never with Veeam.

Agent Smith... but he "can't stand it here anymore. It's the smell."

Unitrends can do all 3 but not under one platform you either have Hyper-V and ESXi or XenServer and Hyper-V. Bit odd

Have we tested the physical one yet, or only the three virtual?

I don't have a physical one, but happy to test if someone will send me one
But yes all test on Virtual at the moment.
