Unitrends Enterprise Backup and XenServer 7

Just remembered that Hyper-V (core) doesn't like unitrends so installing Server 2012 and will enable Hyper-V role then install unitrends see what happens.

So this is what I've found out so far in summary:-

Unitrends Free only supports - VMware and Hyper-V
Unitrends UEB deployed to ESXi server supports - VMware and Hyper-V
Unitrends UEB deployed to XenServer supports - XenServer and Hyper-V

Might see what Hyper-V UEB supports monday

So latest is:-

Unitrends Free only supports - VMware and Hyper-V
Unitrends UEB deployed to ESXi server supports - VMware and Hyper-V
Unitrends UEB deployed to XenServer supports - XenServer and Hyper-V
Unitrends UEB deployed to Hyper-V supports - VMWare and Hyper-V

This is so weird. Why change the code base?

FTFY.

This was my experience as well when trying to test Unitrends Free.

Wouldn't you have to perform an export from ESXi to a compatible file format?

I thought the backups made in ESXi were the proprietary format.

Was just hoping for restoring to another Hypervisor to give me more options.

Do you need the entire backup of the machine? You can mount the image of the backup and restore any files anywhere you want.
