    Summary: Back up a Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machine on the Cloud Failover Appliance.

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

    Important

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

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

    1. Create client for the Hyper-V host.

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

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

    4. Add Hyper-V connection to CFA.

    5. Register VM for backup.

    6. Review and change VM client configuration if needed.
