Step 3. Choose Server Type

At the Type step of the wizard, select the type of server that you want to add.

Select Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager if you want to add SCVMM that manages several Microsoft Hyper-V hosts. Veeam Backup & Replication will pull information about Microsoft Hyper-V hosts and clusters managed by SCVMM and add them to the list of servers as a part of the SCVMM hierarchy.
Select Microsoft Hyper-V cluster if you want to add a Microsoft Hyper-V cluster not managed by SCVMM.
Select Microsoft Hyper-V server if you want to add a standalone Microsoft Hyper-V host that is not a part of the Microsoft Hyper-V cluster and is not managed by SCVMM.

Note

If a Hyper-V host is a part of a cluster or SCVMM, it is recommended that you add to the backup infrastructure a cluster or SCVMM, not a standalone Hyper-V host. If you plan to migrate VMs between hosts in the cluster or SCVMM, you will not have to reconfigure jobs in Veeam Backup & Replication. Veeam Backup & Replication will automatically locate migrated VMs and continue processing them as usual. If you migrate VMs between standalone hosts that are not a part of one cluster or SCVMM server registered in Veeam Backup & Replication, you will have to reconfigure jobs to include the migrated VMs. After that, Veeam Backup & Replication will create full backups for these VMs. If you do not reconfigure the jobs, they will fail.
