This article will explain how to add Microsoft Hyper-V Backup Exec. The Veritas Backup Exec Agent for Microsoft Hyper-V is installed as a separate, add-on component of Veritas Backup Exec. The Agent for Hyper-V is installed on the Hyper-V host. If your Veritas media server is also your Hyper-V host, you can install the Agent for Hyper-V when you install Veritas Backup Exec. Or, you can install it once Backup Exec has been installed.
If Veritas isn’t installed on the Microsoft Hyper-V host, you should push-install the Remote Agent for the Windows device to your Microsoft Hyper-V host.
