NetVault Plug-in for Hyper-V 12.2 - User Guide

Introducing NetVault Backup Plug-in for Hyper-V Installing or removing the plug-in Configuring the plug-in Backing up data Restoring data Troubleshooting

Target audience

This guide is intended for users who are responsible for the backup and recovery of VMs. Familiarity with Windows Server administration and the operating system (OS) under which Plug‑in for Hyper‑V is running is assumed. Advanced knowledge of VMs is useful for defining an efficient backup-and-recovery strategy.

Deploying the plug-in

Deploying the plug-in in standalone, clustered (high-availability), and SMB environments is almost identical because Plug‑in for Hyper‑V is installed on the Hyper‑V Server. The Hyper-V Server is the physical machine that hosts the VMs — the plug-in is not installed on each of the protected VMs.

Figure 1. Deployment overview

Failover clustering

Using the failover cluster Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or IP address, the plug-in identifies the current node that is in control of the Hyper-V Cluster and targets it for backup jobs.

Use of a Virtual Client is not plug-in-specific. For complete information, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide. Be aware of the following guidelines:

•
Always use the information provided in the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide to ensure that management of the plug-in is conducted using the Virtual Client; do not use the physical nodes that are members of the Virtual Client to conduct cluster- or client-management activity. Use the physical node to set up backup jobs for local VMs that are not part of the cluster.
•
To make the plug-in available for installation to all nodes that are part of a Virtual Client, copy the “.npk” installation file to the NetVault Backup Server. The path to copy the file is <NetVaultBackupHome>\packages\standard.
•
If you later upgrade or update the plug-in, you must:
•
Delete the existing “.npk” file from the same location identified earlier.
•
Copy the “.npk” installation file to the same location identified earlier.
•
Remove the Virtual Client that was created with the previous version of the plug-in.
•
Create a new Virtual Client using the upgraded version of the plug-in. Assign the original Virtual Client’s name to the new Virtual Client. If you change the name, you cannot run backup jobs that were defined for the original Virtual Client.
•
Do not do either of the following:
•
Do not use the Manage Clients option to remove the plug-in from clients that are part of a Virtual Client.
•
Do not use the Manage Clients option to reinstall the plug-in.
