Can PBS backup Hyper-v vms?

[jeffrey_233]

Hi All

I was hoping that someone has tried this or has some sort of solution to backup hyper-v vms using PBS?
They VM's are hosted on a Hyper-v server.

We are primarily using Proxmox as our VE.
We are running our windows DC's and other windows services on hyper-v
And was hoping that there is a way for PBS to manage the backups cause the windows native one it terrible.
Then I can set this up for my PVE as well.

Hi,
no that is currently not possible.

PVE uses it's dedicated PBS integration for QEMU to perform VM backups and there is no official windows client to perform file level backups from within the VM.

Edit: There is one way though, you could host the Windows VMs on top of Proxmox VE.

Thank Chris
Yes, that's where we're probably going to end up.
Everything running off Proxmox.
