@jbamford said in Veeam and XCP-ng:

there is having something faster and there is something that’s going to be reliable

How about fast and reliable, which is Veeam.

I’m not saying that Veeam isn’t going to be reliable but what I am going to say is that you are at more risk of backups not being reliable

If this is a Production environment I would go with the XCP-ng and XO because if something goes wrong

That's a pretty hot take that Veeam, an industry leading product where their only business is backup and they are damn good at it, is going to somehow be less reliable than the, in my opinion, half-baked solution that exists in XO (while I appreciate the work the team is doing to make this better and better, seriously, I love reading the monthly progress updates, the fact remains). Additionally, the fact that XO requires at least double the provisioned storage of a VM in order to properly coalesce snapshots is a drawback that Veeam doesn't require.

While I agree with the answer someone else gave that this question should be getting asked to Veeam, I think the discussion here is important as it may drive interest to Vates to work with Veeam. Especially now that a lot of VMWare customers that are accustomed to all that Veeam can do are making their way to XO, I'd expect Veeam integration to be at least in consideration.
