Hello,

I have backup exec 2014 installed on server [server1].  Then I have one more Hyper-V host server [Server2]. And in Hyper host server I have multiple hyper-v guest servers including [Server3].

 

I want to backup VM [Server3] from [Server1]. Backup exec Remote agent is installed on [Server3] but remote agent is not installed on host server [server2].

 

I have license for Hyper-V. But while trying to backup VM [server3] my backup exec server [server1] is not able to take backup [server3] i am getting error remote agent is not found on host server [server2].

 

So my query is...Do i required backup exec remote agent installed on Hyper-V host system [Server2].. to backup guest VM...

 

 Thanks,

Santosh Pawar.

you need to install the Hyper V agent  on the media server  and from the media server you need to push out the remote agent to the Hyper V host.

Yes. The Hyper-V host must have the Remote Agent for Windows installed for backup of the VMs hosted on that hypervisor.
