handle vm backups in proxmox

[Grace]

I'm curious how you guys manage VM backups in Proxmox environments. Do you rely mainly on PBS, or use third-party backup tools as well?
What about cross-platform migration, especially when moving VMs between Proxmox, VMware, and Hyper-V?
I recently came across this V2V migration guide, which also introduces Vinchin as an option for cross-platform VM backup and migration.
Full disclosure: I work with Vinchin, but I'd love to hear what solutions others are using in real-world environments.
What's your current setup?

We ourselves use only PBS, our customers use what they already bought and there are all big players in the boat: Veeam, Rubrik, Commvault, ...

What about cross-platform migration, especially when moving VMs between Proxmox, VMware, and Hyper-V?

I only move them towards PVE, but our customers use their backup solutions if they support this. Some use the Veeam CE edition to move a small number of VMs from any supported hypervisor to PVE. I haven't tried that myself, but is a free way to move machines if your default backup vendor does not support backup on one hypervisor and restore on another. It seems that's what the post is about and what your software is also doing.

Sorry, but the wording sounds like bullshit to me. You stumbled over a printout of the guide on your way to the restroom while working at vinchin? I almost reported this as SPAM, but didn't as this may have merit to others.
