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.
