Xackup backs up, migrates, restores and replicates virtual machines on XenServer and XCP-ng. It runs on Windows 10 (1607) or Windows Server 2016 and newer.
What gets installed
| Part | What it is |
|---|---|
| Xackup desktop app | The Windows app you work in: servers, jobs, schedules, history. |
XackupAPI service |
A Windows service that runs your jobs and serves the Xackup web UI. It starts at boot. |
Both are installed together, either by the setup program or by one PowerShell command. Both methods are fully supported. Nothing else has to be installed first: the installer adds the .NET 8 Desktop Runtime, the ASP.NET Core 8 Runtime and WebView2 when they are missing.
Where to start
- Install with the setup program or with PowerShell. Both are equal; choose one.
- Choose whether other computers may connect to the service.
- Keep Xackup current with Upgrade.
Xackup 2.12 is the stable release, and there are no other release channels. Download links are on the Downloads page.
