Hi Team, Hoping someone can point me in the correct direction. Im wanting to use Harvester to replace VMWare in my future datacenters. Ive setup a homelab cluster and the biggest issues I notice with Harvester (for the use of my staff/business) are around Backups. Specifically want to see the ability to snapshot VM’s for updates and the ability to connect Enterprise Backup systems (Veeam specifically) to able to run scheduled backups of the VM’s. What is everyone else doing in this space as its a bit of a dealbreaker at the moment. Cheers All!

i've been wondering exactly this myself. it looks like the underlying longhorn storage has a number of built-in options (https://longhorn.io/docs/1.3.1/snapshots-and-backups/scheduling-backups-and-snapshots/), but i would assume there are no 3rd-party integrations at this point.

scheduled backup

is not supported yet. cc @ancient-pilot-51731 @prehistoric-balloon-31801

Thanks guys, unfortunately until both of these these things are supported, in my opinion this project isnt production ready. Its nice, Longhorn is cool, the UI is “interesting” from a VM Standpoint, but without proper backup abilities it wont get sign-off as a fit for purpose production system. Cheers All.

Have you considered the following two products? 1. Ark - disaster recovery backup and restore by Heptio 2. MinIO

Velero (former Heptio Ark) looks interesting… however I think the best option here (caveat - without trying it yet) could be Kastens K10 https://www.kasten.io
