Microsoft Hyper-V Protection
Microsoft’s Hyper-V has quickly become a compelling choice for organizations that have standardized on the Microsoft Windows 2008 and 2008 R2 Server platform. For this reason, companies are more dependent on an efficient backup and quick recovery solution for their virtual systems and the host systems to maintain business productivity. If human error and hardware or software failure result in the corruption or loss of a Hyper-V server, there is a greater concern beyond losing a single server. The loss of a Hyper-V host will have a ripple effect across all of the virtual servers hosted on the Hyper-V server. This includes the applications that have also been installed on those Guest virtual machines such as Microsoft® Exchange, SQL Server®, and Active Directory®. An accidentally lost Hyper-V server could impact productivity up to several hours, or even days, across multiple departments while the IT administrator struggles to recover the virtual environment and the individual Guest virtual machine
Administrators looking to protect their Hyper-V environment understand the frustration and time involved with backup technology that was not built specifically to protect virtual environments like Microsoft Hyper-V. Administrators and companies who have not had to experience recovering a Hyper-V server or online Guest virtual machines using basic backup and recovery tools will face several limitations to quickly recovering their data with these older backup tools including
- Installing a backup agent inside of each Guest virtual machine
- Protection of Cluster Shared Volumes and highly-available virtual machines in Windows 2008 Hyper-V R2
- Recovery of a single file typically requires a long restore of the entire Guest virtual machine
- Taking Guest virtual machines offline during backup in order to protect them completely
- Concerns about ensuring applications running inside of the Guest virtual machines can be recovered
- Restoring Guest virtual machines in a disaster recovery situation to original or alternate Hyper-V server

Licensing Backup Exec 2010 Agent for Microsoft Hyper-V
The Backup Exec Agent for Microsoft Hyper-V is designed to accommodate the needs of large and small deployments of Hyper-V – whether it’s a single Hyper-V host or a multi-node Hyper-V clustered environment. The Backup Exec Agent for Microsoft Hyper-V is licensed on a per Hyper-V host basis including Hyper-V clusters. To be compliant with Symantec licensing, the corresponding application agents (such as SQL or Exchange) must still be purchased and the license key installed on the Media Server. The Database or Application Agent is installed inside of the Guest virtual machine but is used only very briefly during the backup to gather application-specific data.
