About backup of virtual machines in an SCVMM environment

A NetBackup Hyper-V Intelligent policy can protect VMs that are managed by Microsoft's System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM). By means of queries in the policy's Query Builder, a policy can discover and back up the VMs on all the Hyper-V servers that SCVMM manages.

Note:

To restore the VMs, you can use the NetBackup Backup, Archive, and Restore interface, or the NetBackup Add-in for SCVMM.

Figure: NetBackup for Hyper-V under SCVMM shows NetBackup in an SCVMM environment. SCVMM manages multiple Hyper-V servers. A NetBackup policy can discover and back up the VMs on all the Hyper-V servers.

Note:

This SCVMM feature requires NetBackup's Hyper-V Intelligent Policy (automatic selection of VMs through a predefined query).

Note:

This SCVMM feature adds a new capability: For VMs that reside under SCVMM, NetBackup can identify and back up VMs by their host name even if they are powered off.
