            Backups are easy, just because nobody has already scripted everything for you.... I'm working on putting something together, but don't expect it soon.

              Besides the lack of backup options like incremental VM backups. Open source, free, flexible, etc...

                  That's all available already, just normal file level backups. You just have to do some scripting to create a snapshot before doing the backup and remove it after.

                    I guess most of us have been spoiled with Veeam and assume it should all be easy.

                      If you want great, solid, do-it-with-your-eyes-closed enterprise level backup, you need to pay money, no matter your hypervisor. It's as simple as that.

                            I have no problem with paying for backups.

                              Well if Xen is your forté, and you can justify not using a better option, go for it.

                                When creating a snapshot, would it be best to pause the VM first and then create snapshots and then resume?

                                  That is the recommended approach, and what all snapshot mechanisms do.

                                    I've done a ton of exports in Hyper-V but no snapshots.

                                        My favourite backup solution is SCDPM (for the Hyper-V world), but it's so expensive, making most other paid options way better.

                                          @wirestyle22 I always do exports to external drives as another disaster recovery copy and then take to another location.
