Setting up Hyper-V virtual backups on clustered Host

Thread needs solution

What is the best way to setup a backup of my hyper-V vm's? Should i select each individual guest on the host or can i just select the host under the Host and Clusters?

Hi Fidel Ramirez,
Selecting a host means selecting all its VMs, including new VMs that may appear in the future. If you select each individual guest, only these guests will be backed up.

If you have a cluster, install Agent for Hyper-V on all clustered hosts. After that, you will see the cluster as a separate node under Hosts and Clusters. By selecting this node, you will protect all clustered VMs regardless of where they are hosted. More info: http://www.acronis.com/support/documentation/ABR11.5/index.html#14390.h…
