Upgrade and installation instructions

For upgrade and installation instructions, see the Quest NetVault Backup Plug‑in for Hyper‑V User’s Guide.

Important upgrade and installation notes

Before installing or upgrading the plug-in, review the following items:

•
If you are upgrading from version 1.7 or earlier, you must remove the existing plug-in and upgrade to NetVault Backup 10.0.5 or later before you install the new version. The name of the plug-in was changed in version 10.0.1. This process ensures that items with the previous plug-in name are removed before items with the new name are installed.
•
If you are upgrading from version 10.0.1 and your environment contains a Hyper-V Cluster on the physical client, the upgrade process automatically removes the configured cluster; that is, it removes the server and credential information from the configuration file for the plug-in. The upgrade assumes that you intend to add a Virtual Client and configure the cluster again. Due to the introduction of the Virtual Client functionality, also delete backup jobs created for a cluster in version 10.0.1, and re-create the jobs using the new version.
•
If you intend to use the NetVault Backup Virtual Client functionality, do not complete the following procedures. The process of creating and using the Virtual Client automatically pushes the plug-in to the applicable physical clients. For complete information about using Virtual Clients, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.
