Hyper core as Veeam target

[dhayes16]

Hello.. I often read where msps often use a server with just free hyperv core installed with a windows 10 vm (for the b&r software) on bare metal as opposed to a full gui version of 2016/2019 standard. This server is then backup target with a bunch of drives stuffed in it controlled by the vm running on that box.

With Veeam 10 are there are limitations to this configuration as opposed to a full windows server install where you need a license? I read where instant vm recovery is not available but it is now in 9.5v4 or higher.

Any gotchas here?

Hello,
from a Veeam perspective: we don't care what Windows version someone is using. Limitations are usually on the Windows side (e.g. REFS support depending on the Windows 10 version)

Is it possible that you mix general instant VM recovery with

Instant recovery of agent backups to a Hyper-V VM now support Windows 10 Hyper-V as the target hypervisor.

It would be useful if you point to the sources where you read things. That would allow better answers.

Best regards,
Hannes
