VM Backup Solution
We currently use acronis to backup our machines. However we are looking for a reliable VM solution that will allow us to spin up a backup or multiple backups and test.
Any solutions. I am looking to run this on a windows 7 machine or possibly even a Ubuntu box.

I am just looking for the VM solution.
