Question regarding HyperV backup
Hallo,
I have a question regarding HV backups. Is the Hyper-V virtual machine integration
component installed on the virtual machines a prerequisite or just nice to have and
necessary to make consitent VM snapshots?
Didn't find the answer yet. May be someone can help me.
regards
Bernd

Hi Bernd,
As described in the documentation:
Integration Components version
Ensure that the version of Integration Components running inside the child partition is the same as the version of Hyper-V on the host. For example, for Hyper-V RTM, the Integration Components version should be 6.0.6001.18016.
To confirm the version, in the Device Manager inside the guest child partition:
1. Under System Devices in Device Manager:
a. Right-click the entry Hyper-V Volume Shadow Copy.
b. Select Properties.
2. Check the version under the Driver tab.
If the version does not match, insert the integration services disk by choosing the option under the Action menu in the child partition console.
3. Install the integration components and reboot the child partition.
Please let us know if you need any further information.
Thank you.
Carlos.
