      Has anyone ever looked into the topic. Of performing incremental backup's of your VM's using BackupPC.

      It runs completely external to the Target (agentless) which completely removes the concern about the hypervisor.

      I'm curious about it and might test it at my home lab some time soon.

        Umm, if it is agentless, then it completely requires knowledge about the Hypervisor. To have access into the VM itself and not care about the Hypervisor means it will have an agent or is access the VM directly via IP and running an agent remotely.

          I should clarify, it can run without an agent.

          http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/ssh.html (Just Ctrl+F search for 'agent')

            I've not used BackupPC but I believe that it requires that the machines being backed up all have their storage shared out in some manner and then it backs them up in that way.

              @scottalanmiller I believe that's right, I used it a very long time ago, but can't remember the specifics of how we set it up.

              It does do a rather good job from what I remember.
