Agentless Cross Platform Backup Tool

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.

Robocopy?

that's an agent

I thought the Agent was Mr. Lord Elrond?

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.
