No problem!
Also, how do you find Proxmox backup? I've not looked into it at all yet. I
wanted to give PmVE a go a couple years back but I do like my Veeam Backup &
Replication - which obviously doesn't support PVE.

If I was to move to Proxmox (which I haven't ruled out), I would want to
ensure backups and restores are very painless, allow restoring part or all of
an instance, or the ability to mount a backup and pull files from a virtual
disk. 

The backup would need to handle local, lan and wan destinations too -
allowing for performance proxying over slower connections. Veeam does a
pretty amazing job at all of this.

Another thing I was considering was XCP-NG - which is Xen-based and has
backup as well, but its Xen based. Back in the very early days of
virtualisation I was using Citrix XenServer and lets just say, performance
was pretty bad... Good for a free package, but bad in general and the paid
options offered no additional performance, just support.

Cheers!
