|MABS prerequisites|- If you want to perform item-level recovery for virtual machines (recover files, folders, volumes), then you'll need to install the Hyper-V role on the MABS server. If you only want to recover the virtual machine and not item-level, then the role isn't required.<br />- You can protect up to 800 virtual machines of 100 GB each on one MABS server and allow multiple MABS servers that support larger clusters.<br />- MABS excludes the page file from incremental backups to improve virtual machine backup performance.<br />- MABS can back up a Hyper-V server or cluster in the same domain as the MABS server, or in a child or trusted domain. If you want to back up Hyper-V in a workgroup or an untrusted domain, you'll need to set up authentication. For a single Hyper-V server, you can use NTLM or certificate authentication. For a cluster, you can use certificate authentication only.<br />- Using host-level backup to back up virtual machine data on passthrough disks isn't supported. In this scenario, we recommend you use host-level backup to back up VHD files and guest-level backup to back up the other data that isn't visible on the host.<br /> -You can back up VMs stored on deduplicated volumes.|
