At work I run a little proxmox cluster (not HA), of 2 machines with both 4 VM's running on it. The VM's are all replicated to the other host machines. So if there would be a hardware problem on one machine, they can be started on the other machine. All VM's are backuped to a storage server by proxmox it self. If I wanted to do backup on a file level, it would be easy to do with a little scripting and rsync. But there is no need.

We also have a VMWare esx server, that's backuped by Veeam. It's outsourced, but I do some basic maintenance on both the host and vm's.

So I have a little bit of experience with both. And I don't see the limitations of proxmox compared to the VMWare + Veeam combination? I do know I like proxmox much more, and it's much cheaper if you don't need the support contract. Which you don't because it is rock solid! ;-)


Bye, Wilfred.
