Backup Hyper-v Host using SCDPM 2007 SP1 RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi guys, I'm new in SCDPM 2007

    I've got this current situation : 
    3 Server running Win2k8 R2 x64 (HPV1, HPV2, HPV3), then I perform a Failover Cluster each server running Hyper-V and have 3 host installed, so the total are 9 host.
    1 physical server SCDPM 2007 with SP1, I want to backup 9 host.
    the 9 host are store in system volume so I can't backup choosing the folder volume.

    I've already install dpm agent to 3 Hyper-V server, when I want to create a Protection group, expand the 3 Hyper-V server, it shows : "Microsoft Hyper-V", then I expand again it shows this option : 

    Backup Using Saved State\Enterprise
    Backup Using Saved State\EnterpriseSP2
    Backup Using Saved State\StandaradSP2
    Initial Store

    But it only show from HPV1, both HPV2 and HPV3 only showing Intial Store 
    I've already check by following this instruction for HPV3 :
    1. run vssadmin list writers from and admin command prompt and : Hyper-V VSS Writer is in a stable state

    2. launch the diskshadow /l logfile.txt tool in an admin command prompt and in that environment run list writers : all the "VMs are under Microsoft Hyper-V VSS Writer".

    My question are : 
    1. what is the different Backup Using Saved State\xxx ?
    2. what could possible wrong with HPV2 and HPV3 ?
    3. what backup option should I choose and how to backup the VMs?

  • I know the meaning of : 
    Backup Using Saved State\Enterprise
    Backup Using Saved State\EnterpriseSP2
    Backup Using Saved State\StandaradSP2
    Initial Store
    it represent VMs at HPV1, but there's more than 3, cause the 3 of them only a template, so what should I do to show the other VM?
