Simply deploy the UB fee edition to your free ESXi environment and run backups with the Unitrends agent. Host-level snapshot backups are not supported with free ESXi, so using the Unitrends agent is required. Connecting the VM's on the enterprisie ESXi host to do agentless backups requires multiple socket support, which is not included in the free license.</p> <p>For more information on Unitrends supported ESXi, see our <a rel="nofollow" href="/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.unitrends.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2FCompatibility-and-Interoperability-Matrix.pdf">Compatibility Matrix</a>.</p> <p>For more information on VMware licensing, check out this webiste: <a rel="nofollow" href="/home/leaving?allowTrusted=1&target=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vmware.com%2Fproducts%2Fdatacenter-virtualization%2Fvsphere%2Fcompare-editions.html">http://www.vmware.com/products/datacenter-virtualization/vsphere/compare-editions.html</a></p> </article> </main>
