Nice to see such a tight integration with HPE.  Looking foward to reading the brief so thanks for sharing this one.

Okay, so just as the Cliffs Notes version, Veeam can’t work with HPE VM Essentials (KVM) natively, so you need to install the Veeam Agent on each VM if I’m understanding this correctly.  Which is really no different than backing up VM’s on any other another unsupported hypervisor such as XCP-NG, right?  That said, it sounds like you touch on that in your first link.  Hoping that more automation will develop around adding VM’s to the protection groups to make deploying the agent and automating the backups easier at least.
