Before You Begin

Before you add a Microsoft Hyper-V server to the backup infrastructure, check the following prerequisites:

• File and printer sharing must be enabled in network connection settings of the added Microsoft Hyper-V host. On every connected Microsoft Hyper-V host, Veeam Backup Free Edition deploys a set of components:

• Veeam Installer Service
• Veeam Data Mover Service
• Veeam Hyper-V Integration Service

If file and printer sharing is not enabled on the host, Veeam Backup Free Edition will fail to deploy these components.

• [For SCVMM] SCVMM Admin UI must be installed on the backup server. Otherwise, you will not be able to add SCVMM servers to the backup infrastructure.
• Make sure that the NETBIOS name of the Microsoft Hyper-V Server is successfully resolved.
