NetBackup for Hyper-V agent
Note:
This section is applicable for NetBackup master server 8.3 or later and NetBackup client 8.3 or later.
Hyper-V virtual machine (VM) is backed up by a Hyper-V policy (all drives). The NetBackup client that is installed inside the guest is backed up with non-file system workloads (policy types other than Standard/MS-Windows). You are only charged for the virtual machine (VM) backup.
The nbdeployutil report does not display a row for agent backup. Only one row is displayed corresponding to the Hyper-V backup for the virtual machine (VM).
As Hyper-V supports single file restore, the file system backup with the agent inside the guest is charged separately. Corresponding rows are displayed in the nbdeployutil report. The nbdeployutil utility uses the virtual machine (VM) DNS name to correlate backup entries corresponding to the Hyper-V and the agent backup. If the virtual machine (VM) DNS name is not recorded as part of the Hyper-V backup, this correlation does not work. A virtual machine (VM) backup must have all drives included. If drives are excluded as part of the Hyper-V backup, the agent backup is charged separately.
