Creating a Hyper-V policy from the Policy Configuration Wizard

The following procedure describes how to create a Hyper-V backup policy with the Policy Configuration Wizard.

Note:

The Policy Configuration Wizard does not support the WMI backup method. To create a policy with WMI, use the NetBackup Policies utility.

To create a backup policy with the Policy Configuration Wizard

  1. In the NetBackup Administration Console (on the NetBackup master server), click the name of the master server.
  2. Click the Create a Policy wizard.
  3. Click VMware and Hyper-V.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Enter a name for the policy.
  6. Click Hyper-V as the virtual machine type, and enter the name of the Hyper-V server.
  7. Follow the remaining panels in the wizard.

    The wizard creates the policy according to your selections. Backups run according to the choices that you make on the wizard's Frequency and Retention and schedule panels.
