Backup Exec for Xenserver

I have Xenserver which is virtualized. I am thinking of using Backup Exec but I dont find in any document supporting Xenserver. like for Hyper V & Vmware do we agent for Xenserver in BE or not?

  • You can install our agent for Windows inside VMs that are hosted on XEnserver and back them up as if they are physical systems

    The only issue we might still not be able to support (if it is seen) is if Xenserver installs anything that touches VSS inside the operating system of the VMs and this causes some kind of conflict when we request snapshots to do backups.
