Protecting Hyper-V Virtual Machines on SMB using Backup Exec 20.4
Starting from Windows Server 2012, virtual machines in Hyper-V can be configured to use Server Message Block (SMB) 3.0 file shares as storage just like local volumes. By using SMB shares, storages for Hyper-V can be converged and operating costs can be reduced. Additional advantages of Scale-out file servers include continuously available file services, automatic load balancing and easy management of servers. Deploying Hyper-V over SMB shares from Scale-out file servers is an ideal solution for Hyper-V.Enhancing resiliency for Instant Recovery
Now not just instant, but also resilient. The Enhanced Resiliency for Instant Recovery increases the data and application availability of virtual machines that are instantly recovered. This improves business continuity in case the Backup Exec server or the Hyper-V server must be restarted.
