Hyper-V cluster not detected
  • Harry Dickinson

    I have installed the VMware version of MSP360 backup, but it does not seem to detect the active Hyper-V cluster (Windows Server 2012 R2) and so it does not give me the option to backup Virtual machines. Have tried installing on the local server as well as a VM instance. It both cases it only reports server file options and no virtual servers. Am I missing something, or is there a known fix for this? Pulling my hair out at the moment, so any advice would be welcome.

    Hello Harry,

    What agent version are you running?
    Are you creating a Hyper-V backup plan?

    Hi Alexander,

    Thanks for the links. However, I am using the standalone VMware/Hyper-V, version, installed directly to the server. It does not detect the Hyper-V configuration and reverts to a basic file server/image backup. Already using 2 other instances of Cloudberry backup on some Linux servers, and quite like it. First attempt at using it on a Windows setup and not impressed with the lack of direct assistance from MSP360 with the configuration. Might have to switch to an alternative.

    Also, you can do the following to activate Hyper-V backup functionality you can trial switching the trial edition, if you're not running a commercial license yet. Go to Home>Licensing>Switch Trial Edition

    Then Select "VM" edition, if it's not

    You should see the VMware and Hyper-V backup options in the top menu if you have the correct license/edition applied. It's not about detecting weather you have Hyper-V on your Server or not at that stage

    I just checked in the systema and I see 2 Windows Server trials activated. So it looks to be a license/edition type issue. Let me know if the "Switch Trial Edition" suggestion above helps
