johns right, but why not use the tapedrive on the hostlevel? Symantec have recently released backupexec 12.5 wich is capable of running on the Hyper-V host to backup the running vm's (no agent licenses needed anymore!)

I have not tried this software though it may help and would need some detailed reading of the documentation to decide if this is a solution that would work for your scenario and work with both the Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-v and your child VM's in the compatibility side of things:- StarPort iSCSI and ATA-over-Ethernet Initiator Cheers,

Backup Exec 12.5 will NOT install on Windows 2008 Core. Only the Agents will install on Core. You still need an agent - you need the Virtualization Agent.
