Veeam on Hype-V enabled host
I have two standalone hyper-v host and 8 VM's running on it. I have use veeam and its really too good for backing up virtual machines. can any one please tell me i needed to install veeam on hyper-v host. for backup i don't have any NAS SAN or CSV.
i have used local disk to store VM's and my all vms are 993GB i wan to backup them on Portable HDD. can i use extreme zip for that is this recommended for production

Re: Veeam on Hype-V enabled host
Setting compression to Extreme level will literally put extremely high load on your host, however will allow to save only about 2%-3% of space at the expense of double CPU load. I do not recommend to do this if your production host acts as the proxy server for the backups.

Do you have any errors reported in the Windows Event Log; similar to the ones mentioned in the adjacent thread? Thanks.

Re: Veeam on Hype-V enabled host
Is there a chance that this VM has dynamic disk? Is it up and running during backup?

Re: Veeam on Hype-V enabled host
If the VM guest OS has dynamic disks, it can be backed up using saved state only, so this warning, this is expected.

Re: Veeam on Hype-V enabled host
Well, are you probably talking about virtual dynamic disks, not guest OS dynamic disks then?
This warning could also be caused by Hyper-V Integration Services failure, you can contact technical support to identify the actual reason of this behavior. I would also check permissions for the guest OS and Integration Services version.

I encourage you to open a case regarding the observed behavior. Also, it would be much appreciated if you could update the thread with the case ID for reference.
