Backup Configuration Backup Configuration The following sections provide instructions on creating and executing new backup tasks, and configuring essential options and settings. VMware and Hyper-V Backup Active Backup for Business allows you to create backup tasks that can be used to process one or more of your virtual machines. You can either configure a backup task and run it immediately, or save the task and run it later. Before you start, make sure that your virtual machines show up in Active Backup for Business > Virtual Machine > VMware vSphere / Microsoft Hyper-V. If your device is not shown, follow the steps below to add the vCenter Server, vSphere Hypervisor (ESX / ESXi), or Hyper-V servers to your device. 1. Click Manage Hypervisor > Add to connect to VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V. 2. Fill in the server address and account information to connect to VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V. Notes: • The storage space of the backup destination and the volume where the package is installed has to be at least 8GB to perform backup tasks. • When using Active Backup for Business to back up Hyper-V, a data mover will be installed on the Hyper-V host. Therefore, the host system's volume must have at least 512MB of free storage. • If your NAS cannot be accessed by the Hyper-V server directly, click Connection from Hyper-V to Synology NAS to configure your network settings. You can also edit or delete the vCenter Server, vSphere Hypervisor (ESX / ESXi), or Hyper-V server in Manage Hypervisor: • Edit: Select existing servers and change the account names and passwords if needed. • Delete: Delete servers when they are no longer needed. If there are protected virtual machines in current backup tasks, you will need to first delete those tasks in order to delete the servers. 08
