Hi,

would it be inconvenient to put both linux and windows servers in one job?

Yes, it would, as that will result in a better deduplication ratio.

r should I create job windows and linux servers seperately?

Hyper-V and VMware VMs cannot be combined in one job, so you'll have at least 4 jobs: Linux-Hyper-V, Linux-VMware, Windows-Hyper-v, Windows-VMware

what is the differences of between replication and backup?

Please see our userguide:

- Replication
- Backup

and this thread. It is a bit old, but statements there still hold true till present day.

Thanks
