Thanks Oliver. We have used GFS with Veeam previously and will be a great addition.

RE: ZFS for a backup server
We have a solution that was designed for another backup system and we are looking to migrate. Our targets and resources are outlined above in the OP.
Just asking for assistance in learning does not equate to the XY scenario you mentioned above. That is the reason these "support" forums exist

RE: ZFS for a backup server
We wish to backup to a server running xcp-ng so we can spin up these VMs if the production server fails. The backup target for the production VMs would be the backup server, if that makes sense.
I think the backup xcp-ng server would need two partitions. One EXT for the OS and one ZFS for the backups... or have I got my wires crossed?

Understanding remote management using XO
We have multiple client sites running HyperV and are looking to migrate to xcp-ng
The client sites all have one production server and one backup server.
I understand these remote client sites can be managed using XO from our office so no need to XO at each client site.
Does this mean that if I migrate a VM or backup a VM from the production server to the backup server the traffic will not be direct between the servers and instead flow:
Production Server (Client site) >> XO (Our office) >> Backup Server (Client site)If this is the case then we will need to run XO locally at the client site or would this be the case for a proxy?

ZFS for a backup server
I wish to create a production server and backup server and have scheduled backups saved to the backup server so we can virtualise the backup if the production server fails.
I would like to store the following aging backups:
- hourly - 3 days
- daily - 7 days
- weekly - 4 weeks
- monthly - 3 months
Aging backups is documented here:
https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/backups.html#retention-and-schedulingAs these backups will take up a significant amount of disk space I understand ZFS is a good FS option. Does this mean when installing xcp-ng I should be using EXT on the production server and ZFS on the backup server?
