I'm a longtime user of BE for SBS and am currently in maintenance for the product on 2 servers.
We are moving to SBS 2008 Premium. A supported, designed, and intended way to use this product is to install SBS 2008 in to a Hyper-v guest with another hyper-v guest for SQL and other LOB apps.
I understand that backing up to tape is impossible if the backup software is installed in the guest due to the SCSI limitations of hyper-v.
A search of the web and these forums suggests that I cannot use BE SBS anymore and instead must use standard BE (installed on the host) with the appropriate agents. Is this true?
If so, is there an upgrade path? Again, the above described install of SBS 2008 is supported, designed, and intended so why shouldn't us current BE SBS users be allowed to continue to use the SBS product? Just not right.
If it's not true and the current version of BE SBS is supported in the above described install of SBS, please advise on how that works.
Thanks,
John
