Enable Hyper-v on a Veeam Server

[rafaelm]

Hi all!

Simple question: Can i enable the hyper-v feature and install VMs on a Windows Server 2022 that is, until now, dedicated for Veeam Backup and Replication, without issues?

Hello Rafael

Hyper-V role installation will most likely be successful. But you will have an unsupported environment.
In case of any technical issues, our support team will ask you to migrate the backup server away from the Hyper-V host:

IMPORTANT

You must not install Veeam Backup & Replication directly on a Hyper-V host. Such installation may lead to unpredictable system behavior. Instead, install Veeam Backup & Replication and its components on dedicated machines. Backup infrastructure component roles can be co-installed.

Our recommendation, keep the machine dedicated as a backup server. Don't install Hyper-V on it.

Best,
Fabian

Thank you!

I will keep the server as is.
