I will be digging into that this matter week.

We are trying to do some kind of disaster recovery setup for XCP-NG/XenServer 
setup and Veeam.

The raw design idea we are having is Backup is done through ACS, Veeam collects 
the backup once every X days for DR purposes.
Restore is a bit more problematic because dumping the VHDs back is fine but it 
wont show in ACS GUI under the proper volume.
A good thing is that when volume backup is removed due to retention policy 
expiration the ACS DB entry in table " snapshots" is kept but marked from 
"Backup" to "Destroyed" 
So during restore of the VHD if the name of the VHD can be used to revert that 
entry change in the DB will probably make the backup appear in the GUI.

What I mention above is the worst case scenario where every step should be 
automated.
I need to dig into the backup framework and the api to see how they can aid 
this process.

Best regards,
Jordan

Hi Abishek,

That's right, the current Backup & Recovery framework only supports Veeam 
provider on VMware.

For XenServer/xcpng, we don't have a plugin/provider, however volume snapshots 
can be used to backup snapshots on secondary storage.

Rohit Yadav

Subject: XCP-ng Backup Cloudstack 4.15

Hello EveryOne,

I am trying cloudstack with xen environment. I was trying out the backup 
feature of the cloudstack and was not able to achieve it. Does the backup work 
in xen environment or it strictly only works with vmware only.
