Veeam Backup & Replication • Re: XCP-ng support

Adding myself to this, would like to see XCP-ng support too.
+1

Just my 2 (or three) cents on some "versus" topics here:
Recently did some research on which way to go, management-wise XCP-ng is much more like VMWare, Proxmox is more like MS Hyper-V without System Center Virtual Machine Manager, as it lacks multi-cluster management and live migration features.
Yes, you might get away with Proxmox by creating one big cluster instead of multiple smaller ones, and enjoy live migration in the whole environment.
But what if you need to pool high-confidential VMs/normal VMs/exposed VMs (aka DMZ) on different clusters, or even have one separated by WAN and would like to migrate VMs between them?
XCP-ng has the centralized management and seems to have cross-cluster-aka-pool-migration features which can do that quite conveniently for quite some time (at least my quick search seems to have found the first mention of this in 2014, though I don't know if you still need to drop onto the command line or if it is already implemented in the UI).
Proxmox lacks this centralized management and its remote-migration feature seems to be still experimental and drops you on the command line for this.
Therefore XCP-ng looks to me more mature and enterprise-ready from this point of view.
For SMBs who do not need VM separation, and central management features, Proxmox might do for them.

Veeam and its WAN-replication, WAN-acceleration and tape support is one of the more important features to me, and the only environment that I can see that can bridge the gap for now without losing Veeam support and all cross-migration features is with MS Hyper-V and SCVMM.

Therefore, if I could I would add another +1 vote for xcp-ng support.
