Robru Well-known member Sep 2, 2017 #2 I have been using Veeam backup for Linux for a while. Works perfectly because snapshots are created.
Snog Well-known member Sep 2, 2017 #3 ESXi is fairly new to me. I was running 10 dedicated servers that powered mostly lightweight sites and my development server. I've got that down to 3 servers, 2 running ESXi. The savings of electricity alone makes it worth the change.
