What the full version of Xen-Orchestra can do and how to install it in the free version.

 

Xen-Orchestra - how to install it from sources.
That is, what the full version of Xen-Orchestra can do and how to install it.

 

Why ze sources i.e. this more difficult version?
You can always go to https://xen-orchestra.com/#!/xoa or to the site of your XCP-NG server and install automatically.
It worked great and is a very good solution. With one small drawback that we have very little functionality in the basic version. Paid versions start at $77 through $220 to $550 per month. The version that can do automatic backups, which is the most essential, is $77 per month. Data is current as of June 2022.
Considering that XOA sea to manage multiple XCP-NG servers even in multiple locations and we have support for it, this is not an exorbitant price.
On the other hand, if you want to play with more advanced features or just want to have fun, it can get expensive. Details here https://xen-orchestra.com/#!/xo-pricing

 

Most interesting features available only in the paid version or from sources:

 

Full backups - automatic full backups
Backup reports - sending emails if the backup fails
Disaster-Recovery - prepares VM copies on another server ready to take on the work at hand
Continuous Delta backup - Incremental backups, which makes only the changes and not the whole , virtual machines are transferred
Rolling snapshots - automatic snapshot creation
Backup Automated Recovery Check - after creating a backup copy, checks that the copy works
