Hi,

We need a solution to backup VMs on a Hyper-V failover cluster. All hosts are Windows Server 2012. VMs can be Windows Server 2012 and Linux. I couldn't find any information on the site if StarWind Hyper-V Backup Plug-in supports Windows Server 2012. It is said that version 5.8 supports 2008 R2, but the current version is 6. Does it support WS2012? And does it support Hyper-V cluster so that I can be sure a VM is backed up no matter on which host it is currently running?

Thank you.

Absolutelly correct - the current version is 6, and we need week or two to get it working with WS2012 and it is still supports WS2008R2.

Not yet but beta with Hyper-V 3.0 fully supported is expected to be released in late December or mid-January.
