We have to look for a new backup solution after we implemented XenServer infrastructure in our virtualization because the previous backup solution only can protect VMware VMs. We are surprised that Vinchin not only can backup XenServer, but also can backup VMware the same time, so no doubt, We replaced the previous backup solution with Vinchin and it saves us 50% budget!
