    Back up a Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machine

    • Summary:Back up a Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machine using Backup & Disaster Recovery.

    Backup & Disaster Recovery supports agentless backup of the Hyper-V virtual machines (VMs). This means you need to install the DR backup agent only on the Hyper-V host, but not on each individual VM.

    Boot, restore, and browse and restore are not supported for the VM checkpoints.

    To set up and configure backup of a Hyper-V VM:

    1. Create a client for the Hyper-V host.

    2. Install the DR backup agent on the Hyper-V host.

    3. Pair the DR backup agent installed on the Hyper-V host with appliance.

    4. Add the Hyper-V connection to appliance.

    5. Register the VM to back up.

    6. Review and change the VM client configuration if needed.
