Change host Hyper-V

Post by Bijour »

Hello all,

I need your help for my migration project.

Today I have one host Hyper-V (standalone) and they are currently 10 VMs on this host. One of this VM is my veeam server.

I would like migrate my 10 VMs on my new host Hyper-V (standalone). I'll use the import / export function from Hyper-V manager to do this migration.

What's the best partice from Veeam to manager this change. I have one backup job and one backup copy job.

Thank for your help

Hello,
as the VM IDs (we don't care about name to avoid issues when somebody renames a VM) change, you need to re-add the VMs to the backup job. Depending on how you configured the backup copy job, same for that one.

It will create a new full backup.

Best regards,
Hannes

Thank Hannes.

May be it's better to create a new backup job, backup copy job and before to disable the old job do an "Active full" on backup copy job ?

The outcome would be the same, just keep in mind the retention of the old jobs - you would need to address this manually.
