Proxmox VE support

[Bubbles 1]

Hi,

are there any plans to add support for Proxmox VE?

I'm using Nakivo for backups in a vSphere environment, would love to use it for my proxmox hosts as well.

Hello, @Bubbles

At the moment, NAKIVO supports only the following bare metal hypervisors:

-VMware ESXi;
-Microsoft Hyper-V;
-Nutanix AHV;

Other supported platforms may be found here:
https://helpcenter.nakivo.com/display/NH/Supported+Platforms

Proxmox, KVM and other hypervisors that are currently not supported are in NAKIVO logs and will be added in future releases. We are constantly working to improve our software solution and your posts help us to understand your needs better. Thank you.

Is there a time frame for integration with Proxmox or KVM in general? Early 2021? I am very interested in this as well as we will be migrating to KVM in Q1 2021.

@David Thank you for your question. According to the NAKIVO development roadmap, support of KVM virtualization (proxmox is KVM based) for virtual machine backup is planned. The estimated implementation dates are yet to be determined.

it would be great if KVM support of backup is made available to public.

i think at the meantime, you could perform physical server backup for each VM running in the proxmox but limited to the supported OS version for each protected server.

@Leezy Yes, you have the point. It will work in this way for supported OS versions.

I'm also highly interested in seeing KVM support being added, so that I could upgrade my license, adding my Proxmox workloads to the mix.

however there is still a missing link when comes to physical backup or proxmox VM backup. restoration only limited to vmware and hyperV. not other platform, that is why i have been asking for physical server or Bare metal restore options to be available. this would help us open up other market.
