      Is there an AgentLess backup solution that will do ESXi (paid), Hyper-V and XenServer?

        I believe that Unitrends is the only solution that attempts to do this and apparently cannot be done from a single install to do it. No one goes after a fully cross platform environment like that.

        Of course, maybe the bigger question is, why do you need this?

          I wonder if the Unitrends physical appliance solves the issue.

                  I thought the Agent was Mr. Lord Elrond?

                    Well in an ever evolving hypervisor world think it would be a nice touch, so solution to cover all out there under one roof, also I have esxi at main office soon Xenserver but have a hyperv in a sub office so be nice to have a single solution for dr purpose

                      Veeam can at least backup Hyper-V and ESXi without any agent AFAIK.

                        @scottalanmiller Would you call rsync an agent?

                          Yes. It needs to be installed, run and managed from inside of the OS. All of the limitations of a client apply to it.

                            So can Unitrends. And sometimes XenServer with Unitrends, but never with Veeam.

                              Agent Smith... but he "can't stand it here anymore. It's the smell." 😛

                                Unitrends can do all 3 but not under one platform you either have Hyper-V and ESXi or XenServer and Hyper-V. Bit odd

                                  Have we tested the physical one yet, or only the three virtual?

                                    I don't have a physical one, but happy to test if someone will send me one 😄
                                    But yes all test on Virtual at the moment.
