Hey Mark,
I know this is an emotional issue for most, Mac vs PC, Windows vs Linux, Hatfield vs Mccoy. that being said... Few things! 1. If you run VMWARE you still need to buy Windows Licenses... 2. I prefer one throat to choke. If you have a Windows VM running on a Microsoft Hyper-V environment and something goes wrong, I can very easily get support from Microsoft. If I have a Windows VM running on VMWARE I'm caught in the middle of pointing fingers. Now these days both have excellent compatibility and even ubuntu support Hyper-V very well so there is little difference in performance / functionality. 3. Being a Windows Guy, I think you'll find Hyper-V easier to support. All of this is my humble opinion. You really can't go wrong but I think cost wise you will be ahead with Hyper-V.

To be honest, I'm more comfortable in a windows environment. Almost all my VMs are windows OSs at the moment. I do have a couple of Ubuntu servers running. Be interested in why you went Hyper-V over VMWare? I think VMWare has the larger market share. -- Best regards, Mark mailto:m...@mailmt.com Myakka Communications www.Myakka.com<http://www.Myakka.com> ------ Tuesday, July 12, 2022, 2:53:39 PM, you wrote: Hey Mark, I know we do that with native Hyper-V and it always seem strange to me that if you are running Microsoft VM's you have to purchase Microsoft Datacenter licenses and VMWARE, but I understand some applications are only supported under VMWARE. That being said we use altaro for unattended backups (Microsoft and Linux) and they have a VMWARE version you might want to check out.

Messed up some of our VM servers. I got things rigged back together, but I need to build a more robust VM system. I'm look to move into the VMWare world. I think Vmware Vsphere Essentials Plus is the route I need to go. I may be able to get away with just Essentials, but the extra tools may help. Any thoughts on setup. Currently we run RAID10 on each VM Host and backup to a NAS. I'm thinking I'll keep that setup for the VMWare. If I get Essentials Plus will I be able to to HOT backups of running VMs or is that a third party thing? -- Thanks, Mark mailto:m...@mailmt.com Myakka Communications www.Myakka.com<http://www.Myakka.com> -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
