Thank You

That's exciting @olivier looking forward to seeing that in action.

I'm definitely super interested to see how this will work.

This is currently a large amount of work (therefore cost for us) to be able to read VHD files (explaining it will be in Premium version of XOA) and do all the needed stuff on top. But I hope we'll be on time!

Ok, decided to go with XenServer 7.

Right now the backup capabilities of XO are pretty basic. It's image based backups like Veeam or Unitrends do, but it does not have the additional technology to open up the backups and pull out individual files. To do that you need to mount the snaps yourself and go through them to grab individual files. In some cases you might need additional tooling from a third party if you want to extract emails from an Exchange database, for example.
But that kind of stuff XO is working on and maybe we will see that included in the future as well, a la Veeam.They have Deduplication/compression yet?

@John-Nicholson This is something you can do easily on your NFS/SMB remote (eg with ZFS), and because it will be handled transparently at the FS level, no problem with XO.
