People go with what they're comfortable with....you can argue (aka debate) the merits of one vs. the other.
Me, I could go either way.They shouldn't be treated that way. Each has a place and each should be used where appropriate. Not much in IT should come down to opinion, it should be "appropriate addressing of the business case."

You are right, it shouldn't but I live in the real world & that's just how it goes.

Starting to test some backups of vm's on oVirt & standalone KVM:
oVirt VMs:
Standalone KVM VMs:
-
@fateknollogee Free for standalone KVM hosts, this seems interesting. Please share your testing results =).
-
@romo we've got several places where we might want to use that, and more soon.

Why? Agentless VM Level backups are useless. You've said that often enough.

I'll update you tomorrow after I test some restores.
I've backed up a few vm's to AWS S3 & to on-prem servers. -

Non-ideal isn't the same as useless. This is why these discussions are difficult. Why does something not being "the best for most cases" turn into "useless" as what people hear?

Jared likes Agentless. I tend to not like them, it's non-portable. And that specific thing hits us already with our current backups at some clients. So to address limitations of their existing agentless system, and their mix of hypervisors, kludges like this are necessary. Or a move off of their current agentless infrastructure that they paid a lot for.

@romo unfortunately the free one has not CBT
