Apparently this is shameless plug day for me... I do think R1Soft is something you'll at least want to check out, though. A few reasons:
- It's Cross-Platform (Windows / Linux)
- Block-level, incremental backups
- (near)-Continuous Data Protection
- Won't crush server performance, so you can run multiple backups in an hour if needed
The problem is that it's not free, so my apologies there. You can try out a free trial if you'd like to at least give it a shot and see what you think.
Where is your vendor tag?!
/grabs the pitchfork
he just got added.

@DustinB3403 I'll take this scarlet letter if it will help everyone put down their pitchforks, but I really don't plan on talking about the product much (if at all) while I'm here.

But there's nothing stopping you...
You can certainly put the word out there without being considered obnoxious about it (if you know where to draw the line). What was the name of that product again? -

It should be, I believe (there were just some changes to how the defaults work) that you can go into your own profile settings, under groups and choose which group to display. It will just say "vendor." It is just a mark that you are a validated vendor (meaning it's been recognized that you are indeed working for that vendor, normally it is an email verification.)

Here it is, this is a new setting that got changed for a lot of people:

@art_of_shred needs to set his too

Hey @DustinB3403,
As Scott points out, client level backup processes protect virtual systems from inside the client OS and so they do not rely on the underlying hypervisor. And yes, we do support XenServer as well as RHEV, Oracle, Hyper-V, ProxMox, VMware, and other hypervisor platforms. StorageCraft backup images are highly portable and you can restore a VMware VM to a XenServer environment quickly and easily.
Cheers!

As others have mentioned (thanks guys!), our Untirends Free only protects VMware, Hyper-V, & Windows clients, however our paid editions start at $299, which is a one time cost, and includes the 1st year of support. After the initial year, the only costs that you'll have going forward will be for support, which includes tech support & all software updates. This post about our updated XenServer protection went up on our blog yesterday. Please let me know what questions you may have.
