A contractor installed 3CX for us this past summer, using the Debian ISO to install on a VMware VM. What we didn't realize at the time is that installing VMware Tools, which I believe is necessary to get a good VM backup with Veeam, would render our system un-upgradeable through the normal 3CX update process as well as unsupported. Unless I'm missing something our options seem to be
- Install VMware Tools anyway, be unsupported, apply OS upgrades on our own and hope they go well
- Run backups without VMware Tools (I doubt this would produce usable backups - does anyone know?)
- Migrate 3CX data to a new VM running Windows or Debian from their ISO and install VMware Tools
- Don't backup the VM at all, instead relying on 3CX's own data backups; in the case of server failure recovery would take longer as 3CX would have to be installed first
