New feature – Backup policies for Hyper-V virtual machines

UniView's backup policies feature now supports Hyper-V virtual machines.

From the Protect > Appliances or Protect > Assets page, you can quickly view and manage the policies that define the frequency at which host-level backups are taken for your Hyper-V VMs — and set or remove policies for multiple assets in a single operation. Backup policies can include Hyper-V VMs, VMware VMs, and Windows image-level assets.

To set a backup policy, simply select one or more assets and define the backup frequency. If your Unitrends appliance is copying backups to the Unitrends Cloud, you can enable hot copies of these backups with a single click — right from the Backup Policy dialog. See these topics for details:

  • To add a Hyper-V host — Use this procedure to add a new Hyper-V host server and apply backup policies to its VMs.
  • Applying backup policies to an appliance's unprotected assets — Use this procedure to apply a backup policy to an appliance's unprotected Windows image-level assets, Hyper-V VMs, and VMware VMs.
  • Working with backup policies — Use these procedures to view and manage backup policies for all of your assets, across all Unitrends appliances. You can view, edit, set, or remove policies for multiple assets, across multiple appliances, in a single operation.
