Agentless Backup for Microsoft Hyper-V

Catalogic Software provides DPX Block and Agentless data protection for virtualization to protect Microsoft Hyper-V environments. Agentless Hyper-V Backup eliminates the overhead of installing and maintaining a backup agent on each VM. DPX backs up the VMs through the Hyper-V host by using an agent installed on each Hyper-V host or cluster which must be added to the DPX Enterprise. The agent handles Hyper-V snapshot processing and communicates with the storage destination and master server. Agentless Hyper-V Backup supports auto-discovery and protection of new and modified VMs. For a complete list of operating system versions, see the following web page:

Backup and restore jobs for Microsoft Hyper-V can only be run through the web (HTML5-based) interface.

Catalogic DPX supports crash-consistent backup of all guest operating systems supported by Microsoft Windows Server 2016 and later using the Catalogic DPX agentless feature.

You can use Catalogic DPX with the following Microsoft Hyper-V versions:

  • Microsoft Hyper-V for Windows Server 2022

  • Microsoft Hyper-V for Windows Server 2019

  • Microsoft Hyper-V for Windows Server 2016

The VMs must use the Microsoft Hyper-V configuration versions of 8.0 or later.
