Veeam Backups

[Marcus]

Hi All,

I am new to working with Veeam.

I have a physical server windows 2012. It's has hyper v with 3 virtual machines.
I am using veeam to backup the 3 vm's to a NAS box.

Is it possible to backup the host machine without including the 3 hyper virtual machines usiung veeam?

The host(Physical Server) contains VM1 , VM2 VM3.

Thanks in advance would appreciate any help I can get.

Hi Marcus,

You cannot do it with Veeam B&R, but you can use Veeam Endpoint Backup (free agent based backup) to protect your Hyper-V host.

Thanks!

Yes, you need to select a volume level backup and choose the data drive which is used for system partition and skip the one for hosting VM files.
