Description

  • Is it possible to backup VMs running on a Citrix XenServer Hypervisor?

Environment

  • Cove Data Protection (Cove)

Solution

  • It is not possible to backup VMs running on a Citrix XenServer Hypervisor, as there currently is no plugin / datasource for it
  • You can backup the VMs by doing a VM guest level backup and select all available data sources to make a full system backup.
  • In this case you can restore single files and do a full system restore to a VMDK or VHDX using Virtual Disaster Recovery.
