Hyper-V and Veeam Agent Backup
Hyper-V and Veeam Agent Backup
Today we are going to discuss about the Hyper V and the Veeam agent backup. As many of you know that in a virtual environment, it is possible to restore a Veeam Agent machine as a Hyper-V VM using the Veeam Backup & Replication console.
Backups created on Veeam' s backup repository can be used for instant recovery of Hyper-V VMs. The Veeam Agent backups located in the Veeam Cloud Connect repository cannot be used for this operation.

In most cases, instant recovery for a Veeam Agent computer is the same as for a virtual machine. As compared with instant VM recovery, Veeam Agent computers are always restored to a new location, which means that you don't need to select the recovery mode.
