change from VMWARE 2 VCUBE+

Post by DrMoW »

Hello,

we decided by the politic of broadcom, to go away from vmware and we are going on to use vcube+ from collax.
at serveral places i tried to find out if there are any plans to include this into veeam.
it shoud not be hard to do, because seems (for me) easy because of proxmoxx implementaton.

is there any other who use vcube or vcube+ (the ha-system).

can any devleloper review this and give us (me) and anwser to this question?

many thx

andreas

Hi Andreas,

Unfortunately, there are no plans to provide support for this hypervisor at this time. This is also the first time this particular hypervisor has been mentioned in our forum. Let’s see if other customers express interest in this platform as well.
As a workaround, you can install our Veeam Agent on these VMs to perform backups.
it shoud not be hard to do, because seems (for me) easy because of proxmoxx implementaton.
Just because something seems easy does not necessarily mean it can be implemented. Even though KVM-based hypervisors may operate similarly, every new platform requires significant resources on our side (developers, QA teams, support, training, ...), which would then be unavailable for other, more highly requested features.

Best,

Hi Fabian,

Actually, I expected a similar answer. It's just not that widespread. And yes, I agree that developments cost money, precisely because they have to be tested, etc.

I'll try that with the agents then...
I think the free license, backup agent for Windows, will do the trick...

Best
Andreas
