Hi 

Is it possible to make application state aware backups with Hyperv type policy, as it is possible with Vmware policy type

Also what would be the best approch to backup SQL cluster via VMWARE policy type, if clusetr is of two node type.

Hi

  1. Application aware backups in HyperV is not possible.
  2. You have to backup the SQL via the Agent installed in the guest as you're using a cluster. Cluster would imply some shared disk, which would imply an RDM in the guest, which would mean no VMware policy type possible.
