    Hi,

    I cannot find any info but I think I know the answer to this but need it confirmed.

    Is it possible to have multiple DPM servers backing up VMs in a Hyper-V cluster (with using SCVMM).

    The reason I ask is that we have a potential for certain VMs to be backed up by different DPM servers (servers owned by different departments)

    Kind regards

    Hi,

    The answer is no, only one DPM server can back up a Hyper-V cluster at the time, you can however back up the DPM server that is backing up the Hyper-V cluster by another DPM server.

    To know which DPM server is backing up a specific server/cluster you can run the following PowerShell script on the DPM server.

    Get-DPMProductionServer | Where-Object {$_.ServerName -Eq "Your Hyper-V server" } | select DPMServerName

    Best regards,
    Leon
