        Found this script. Just a script, but seems better than an abandoned product from a company that isn't even sure that they make it.

        https://www.virtkick.com/docs/how-to-perform-a-live-backup-on-your-kvm-virtual-machines.html

        I wrote one on here a couple of years ago.

              @scottalanmiller @CCWTech - chiming in late... I inquired a couple of years back (a few perhaps 🤔 ). They were just "Storware" then. From vague memory it was expensive and didn't inspire confidence. I ended up staying on Windows Server, utilising Hyper-V and Veeam.

              Would be really interesting to see if they reinvigorate efforts for this product, at a realistic price (cough significantMLdiscountsforeveryone cough). Looks like they could use some marketing and increased product awareness out into the tech community.

                Still not inspiring confidence. Good to know our concerns are warranted.

                      In the pool that we are looking at, I think that the largest number of VMs is 3.

                            They are non-responsive as to a price but offered a demo.

                            Sorry but I'm not doing a 1 hr demo only to find out that the price (Unless free of course) isn't reasonable. From the disorganization so far I'm guessing it's expensive just to keep all the people who don't know anything about the product employed.

                              Wow, pricing is crazy high.

                              Poor service, high price... Hard pass.

                                  It's $1,500 perpetual for up to 2 cores. I didn't ask what maint costs would be.

                                  Not bad if you are running a few VM's but our clients are small and only have 2 VM's. @scottalanmiller says that's not too bad but at the same token compared to a script that can do it, that's a lot for just a little bit more.

                                    @CCWTech my god. $1500. . .. yeah I'd rather use a script or a different hypervisor entirely with a free backup appliance like Veeam free or XO.

                                      Exactly. I nearly asked them what they were smoking.

                                        I'm assuming those cores are for the hypervisor as well. Not two socket, but two core?

                                        Who would really consider that?

                                          Per physical socket.

                                            Oh okay, that at least isn't nearly as bad as it sounded.
