On page 863 of the BE 2014 admin manual PDF, the "Requirements for using the Agent for Microsoft Hyper-V" are listed. One of the requirements is that this Hyper-V agent be installed on each Hyper-V host. However, I don't see a way to do that. I can't find it on the ISO and I can't see how to do it using push. I have backups running on a couple Hyper-V hosts and they only have the RAWS client installed on these hosts.
Is this just old information from a previous version?

As per the requirement you need to install RAWS on the Hyper V server and Agent for Hyper V
license on the Backup Exec media server. Refer to the below article.

Here's a technote which contains Methods for Installing the Agent for Windows (AWS)

Thank you for your reply. That's what I figured, but I'm having problems with my incremental Hyper-V backups, so I needed to request clarity on the issue.
My confusion came from the online technotes and the admin guide, which both heavily imply that there is a separate piece of software called "Hyper-V Agent" that needs to be installed. Good to know that is not the case and my problem lies elsewhere.

Over the years, this has always been the source of confusion and has caused many a users to look for a physical agent when it is the capability of the agent that is being referred to.
