Any solution to backup with agentless in Proxmox?

Hello!

Thank you for your inquiry.

At present, we do not have an agent for Proxmox, as we do not support that environment.

As a workaround, you can try to install a Windows/Linux agent inside each VM.

I have forwarded your request to the team for more details. I will update the thread as soon as I have more information.

Best regards.

For customers migrating from VMware to an open-source solution due to licensing issues, there are several alternatives to consider. Open-source virtualization platforms like Proxmox, KVM, and Xen are popular choices. These platforms can provide similar functionalities as VMware but without the associated licensing costs

This is something we are also interested in.

Hello!

There is a feature request for this topic, but at the moment, there is no ETA.

The reference is RM-260.

I've forwarded your message to the team and added a vote on your behalf.

Best regards.

Hello!

Sure, added it now.

Best regards. 

This needs to happen or Acronis will lose paying customers to Veeam. Just like everyone dropping VMware due to the ridiculous change to licensing that took place.  If this isn't done soon, I will not renew my maintenance with Acronis and use the money to buy Veeam. Too bad, so sad.

I'm in this same boat. We've basically been forced to abandon VMware and I've always loved Acronis. But the transition for multiple clients has been to ProxMox. 

I'm hoping to see something come about that integrates or understands, I know Veam already has it, or Proxmox Backup Server, but there are features of Acronis I've always loved.

I'm hopeful this is something that comes about or in the next year I'm probably going to have to leap to something else also

Another voice for agentless backup on Proxmox, please do us a favor Acronis.

Thank you

Hello!

Thank you for the feedback.

This topic is intended for Service Providers using Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud.

On-premises deployments are discussed in other threads. Acronis Cyber Protect 16 supports Proxmox (supported only for fully virtualized, also known as HVM, guests).

For more details, visit: https://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/AcronisCyberProtect_16/#supported-virtualization-platforms.html

Please note that a hypervisor agent specifically for Proxmox is not available, and as far as I know, there are no plans for integration in the near future.

If you have any queries please contact our support at https://support.acronis.com/

Best regards.

Hello Acronis Team,

I have had positive experiences with Acronis' powerful backup and disaster recovery solutions for a long time. Recently, however, I started using Proxmox, and I am in need of integrating Acronis solutions with this platform. Proxmox is widely used in virtualization environments, and ensuring compatibility between Acronis and Proxmox would bring significant value to users like myself.

Hello!

At this moment, there are no plans to integrate it in the near future, based on my review.

I’ve added a vote on your behalf and shared your comments with the team.

Hi All,

Please count my vote, as well as the votes from my colleagues at our company. Acronis is our primary backup platform and is integrated with our customers' environments based on VMware (in addition to M365, workstations, XDR in some cases, etc.).

However, the significant changes in VMware licensing represent a major shift in the entire customers infrastructure, which could make switching to another backup platform relatively straightforward. Please keep this in mind, Acronis.

Looking for constructive response.

Hello Marek,

Thank you for your feedback.

After reviewing the account, I couldn’t find your email in our database.

I suggest reaching out to your service provider or reseller (if they are responsible for your support) so they can raise a ticket and leave the message on record.

Best regards.

Well speak. I really hope Acronis takes this seriously. This is a very good advantage for all parties, especially Acronis.

I believe it won’t take much longer.

From what I can see, agentless backups for Nutanix are arriving very soon ( next month ) so it’s highly likely that Proxmox will be next on the list.

Best regards,

Any updates on this??

It´s imperative to have a Proxmox agent at hypervisor level as soon as possible.

Thank you so much.

Are you conscient that all other backup solutions in the market that are direct competitors to Acronis are Proxmox compatible or are in a final phase to become compatible? Do you know that a lot of people like me are looking for alternatives to Acronis due this?

I agree that this is a needed feature/option.  The VMWare integration is good, but we will be moving away from VMWare as quickly as we need to re-license.

Can we be placed on some sort of update time frame?

Thanks

Also waiting on Proxmox hypervisor level support for my customers.

Hello,

Is there another platform where we can effectively raise this issue? Because since the topic was opened, only our messages have been shared, and there has been no progress. Meanwhile, updates are coming on the virtualization side, and I need to make a decision. It would be appropriate for Acronis to provide a statement regarding this matter.

As mentioned above, I’ve voted for your feature request and shared your comments with the team. However, please note that this is not a support platform. I recommend raising a support ticket or asking your service provider to do so on your behalf.
