      @scottalanmiller Are you sure?

      Ubuntu: 12.04, 14.04, 14.10, 15.04, 15.10, 16.04

      Very, check your list, the current isn't in it. Only the last one and older.

        What a fucked up pain in the ass.

        You have to go to their website, log in, and click like 5 times to finally get the RPM.

        Hi, Linux much? WTF...

        I used it once. Now I use Relax and Recover whic does exactly the same thing and is in the repos.

        Any idea how far back on CentOS is goes in the repos? Would CentOS 5 have it?

        It started in the repos with RHEL 7.2. However here is the site for the product

        http://relax-and-recover.org/

        They've not released for current Ubuntu yet 😞

        I always forget to look at that. I have no Ubuntu stuff running except at home for Unifi stuff. I always overlook it.

          It's only my laptop, no big deal. But I'd not want to use it on Ubuntu servers if they aren't keeping it up to date there. Not a big deal, I'd not normally use Ubuntu for servers anyway (they have an ecosystem problem of half of the vendors only supporting old Ubuntu and half only supporting current and internal full support only for current - it's a bad environment for a server to be in.) But for a desktop, it would be nice to have support and desktops tend to be very current. And with Ubuntu's rapid update process, even being a few weeks behind makes backup software kind of useless for a desktop. Only four months till 17.04 is out!

                  The RPM only installs their GPG key and the .repo file.

                    We should be able to script the install super easy.

                      I thought this was going to be part of their paid product offerings.

                      I actually have had some nice success with the Beta versions! Time to upgrade!

                        It is. Veeam Agent for Linux is paid. Veeam Agent for Linux Free is free.

                          @scottalanmiller Cool. I didn't realize they had done two versions of it. Just went and read over the linked article.

                          This makes me happy!

                            @dafyre My guess is there is only 1 version, with the ability to "unlock" additional features.

                              Probably

                                Yea. That's the way most companies do this these days anyhow. I just hadn't heard there would be a free one before today, so this is good news.

                                  My big question for everyone testing and/or running the Veem on Linux, how fast is it compared to the standard Xen Orchestra backups?

                                    Very, very different things. One is an in OS agent hitting the file system. The other is a platform agent imaging the storage system.

                                      Sorry, @scottalanmiller, but duh. If I can get away with only doing the slow export from XO on a single VM instead of all of them, that'd be a good thing, at least until XS gets their slow export bug fixed. Figured I'd ask before taking the time to go test everything myself.

                                        I'm not a fan of agentless full backups. I prefer rapid cloning and only restoring needed data.

                                          Right. Once you can do fast full backups from XenServer natively, that will be much preferable. With the bug in XenServer exports, tools like XenOrchestra are slow.

                                            No, even then I don't like that approach 🙂
