Any software that can take forever incremental backup from VM?

Post by Jon Hans » 2021/09/10 09:31:51

Hello everyone, nice to meet you guys.

I want a forever incremental backup for over 50+ virtual machines on XenServer and restore them in case some problem occurs.
Is there any good advice or good backup software?

Thanks a lot in advance. ;)

"Forever" is a big word.

Only data is important. System -- packages -- can be easily reinstalled and configuration one should be able to (re)deploy with configuration management.

That leaves user data. Are they plain files or (SQL) database? Transactional databases have their own backup methods.
