About NetBackup SAN Client support for Windows Hyper-V Server

NetBackup SAN Client supports backups over Fibre Transport for the Windows Hyper-V Server. Install the NetBackup client software on the Windows Hyper-V Server and then configure the SAN Client on the Hyper-V Server. Do not install the NetBackup client software or configure the SAN Client on the operating systems within the Hyper-V virtual machines.

See Configuring SAN clients.

For backups, follow the procedures in the NetBackup™ for Hyper-V Administrator's Guide to create a Hyper-V policy to back up the Hyper-V Server and its virtual machines:

If SAN client and Fibre Transport are configured correctly, backups occur over Fibre Transport.

NetBackup does not support Fibre Transport restores to the Windows Hyper-V Server. Restores occur over the LAN.
