Prerequisite Components for Hyper-V VSS Writer Protection

The prerequisite components for Hyper-V VSS Writer protection are identical to that of standard VSS Writer requirements. The applications that follow are required to deploy Hyper-V VSS technology in your Arcserve Backup environment:

• This release of the Arcserve Backup for Windows base product

  The Arcserve Backup Client Agent for Windows must be installed in partition zero (0) on the Hyper-V server machine. Partition zero (0) is reserved for the host operating system and its applications. All other partitions, for example, partition 1, 2, and so on, are reserved for child partitions or virtual machines (VMs).

  You must register the license for the Agent for Open Files for the Hyper-V host system with the Arcserve Backup server.

  Note: Optionally, you can register the license for the Agent for Open Files using the license key for the Agent for Open Files for Virtual Machines on Windows.
