Acronis Backup Standard for windows server and Hyper-V
Hi, at work we have a license of Acronis Backup Standard for windows server 12.5 (free upgrade from previous 11.7, one time no expiration purchase: not the new annual plan): we plan to migrate from a old standalone windows server to a new server with:
a windows 2016 server standard Hyper-V host
windows server standard 2016 guest (domain controller/dhcp/dns)
windows server standard 2016 guest (file server/ management software server)
windows 7 professional virtualized client.
Is possible to use this license to create a backup plan of host and guests or is necessary Acronis Backup for virtual hosts?
if is possibile the management components and agents will be installed in host and agents also in guests, right?
How much core and ram are required on host in addition to those necessary for the functioning of the hyper-v role?
Thank you very much

Thank you Andrey,
if install the Management server directly on Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V host (only role installed) to avoid the purchase of a dedicated backup server, how much v-core and ram i need to leave unassignated to Hyperv guests to avoid slowdown during backup operations? How much disk spacealso is necessary on host to manage temporary files during backup?
