The only reason I'm sticking with VMware ESXi is because of Veeam, it's like the only solidly working piece of backup software for VMs. Otherwise I wouldn't doubt to go with Proxmox.
- jbverschoor 3y agoProxmox seems to be working great, including backups
- doubled112 3y agoBuilt in backups that work are a big reason I ended up on Proxmox at home.
- BadBadJellyBean 3y agoDoesn't Proxmox have a builtin backup? You could also use Hyper-V with Veeam.
- xoa 3y agoAre you talking about using it AIO? It seems preferable to me in general to have VMs live on external storage like a NAS. Proxmox, KVM, Xen and I assume everything else all support using iSCSI at least. Then your storage layer can focus on that and handle all the backing up, data integrity etc itself. I guess that does raise cost for the same performance vs a single box so it'll depend on budget/needs, but it's getting pretty affordable with a bit of shopping to do some serious storage devices these days.

- system2 3y agoI hated Veeam because of the slowness and difficulty of live snapshots. We purchase synology nas solutions and even use the nas for host redundancy. Works perfectly and super fast. Also, get C2 from Synology to backup your vms on the cloud.
- ikidd 3y agoProxmox Backup Server is rock solid in the 2 years I've used it. It does a great job of dedup keeping hundreds of backup points as space efficient as you could hope for. And file restores or full VM restores are painless. I've even used the Linux client to virtualize physical boxes.
