vRanger works but it's not fun. Mainly just slow and clunky but I have also seen it leave behind snaps as Aaron mentioned. Not a vote of confidence here.<div><br></div>
<div>VEEAM has a good reputation. I really want to try it but my company is looking at CommVault Simpana as we already use it for file-level on physicals (and virtuals because vRanger is not good). </div><div><br></div><div>

I can say that vRanger, at least 3 years back, was NOT a good product.<br>
It would leave behind snapshots occasionally for no good reason, and<br>
backups of non-windows VMs were image only, you could only restore the<br>
ENTIRE vm, not a file from within.<br>
