After sleeping on it and taking everything in, i've decided to give Hyper-V another chance (can some confirm that (i think i've seen this mentioned) hyper-v can replicate to another hyper-v server for FREE?)

Installed Admin center on my machine and started to play with it. Already impressed when just looking at what it can do on my machine, going to add a few hosts and have a play. Can't do to much as i'm off on hols after today for a week and a half.

*Also going to install Veeam Free on my RADIUS server and script some backups of my Linux machines.

New problem, install veeam free on a spare server.
Added my Hyper-V host and tried doing a VeeamZip on a Linux VM. Failed. Rebooted all 3 (i.e. Veeam Server, Hyper-V host and VM) still no go.
Shutdown the VM and it works
This is the error:-

24/08/2018 13:07:17 :: Unable to allocate processing resources. Error: Job failed ('Checkpoint operation for 'VMNAME' failed. (Virtual machine ID ED67A2C9-56F6-429D-AD2E-89FF8375CDE3)

Production checkpoints cannot be created for 'VMNAME'. (Virtual machine ID ED67A2C9-56F6-429D-AD2E-89FF8375CDE3)'). Error code: '32770'.
Failed to create VM recovery snapshot, VM ID 'ed67a2c9-56f6-429d-ad2e-89ff8375cde3'.

Getting the feeling instead of being like a "Ducks Arse" i should look at maybe a "paid" solution that will be Hyper-V and ESXi

@hobbit666 there are several possible causes for this, found here. (granted its from 2014 but I doubt the reasoning for the error would change)

Look at the resolutions on that page and see if you can't fix the issue before jumping to the conclusion of "I have to pay for something to have it work". When it clearly works.

I use VeeamZip to backup a few VM's here and it works just fine.

Dealing with toll fraud, I mis-configured a firewall rule and left a gateway wide open. Won't do that again

Is the Linux Integration Services installed on those VMs?

Yes, Hyper-V (and its features) are all free.
