Hi,

At the moment, Backup Exec does not support Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V. You still have to wait some time if you're going to use BE to backup newer Hyper-V. Of course, you have option to backup virtual machines running on 2012 Hyper-V using Backup Exec agent, if you're running supported operating systems.

2008 R2 Hyper-V is supported, 2012 Hyper-V is not supported yet.
