 |Prerequisite|Details|
 |------------|-------|
 |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.|
-|Hyper-V VM prerequisites|-   The version of Integration Components that's running on the virtual machine should be the same as the version of the Hyper-V host. <br />-   For each virtual machine backup you'll need free space on the volume hosting the virtual hard disk files to allow Hyper-V enough room for differencing disks (AVHD's) during backup. The space must be at least equal to the calculation **Initial disk size\*Churn rate\*Backup** window time. If you're running multiple backups on a cluster, you'll need enough storage capacity to accommodate the AVHDs for each of the virtual machines using this calculation.<br />-   To back up virtual machines located on Hyper-V host servers running Windows Server 2012 R2, the virtual machine should have a SCSI controller specified, even if it's not connected to anything. (In Windows Server 2012 R2 online backup, the Hyper-V host mounts a new VHD in the VM and then later dismounts it. Only the SCSI controller can support this and therefore is required for online backup of the virtual machine.  Without this setting, event ID 10103 will be issued when you try to back up the virtual machine.)|

 |Linux prerequisites|-   You can back up Linux virtual machines using MABS. Only file-consistent snapshots are supported.|
 |Back up VMs with CSV storage|-   For CSV storage, install the Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) hardware provider on the Hyper-V server. Contact your storage area network (SAN) vendor for the VSS hardware provider.<br />-   If a single node shuts down unexpectedly in a CSV cluster, MABS will perform a consistency check against the virtual machines that were running on that node.<br />-   If you need to restart a Hyper-V server that has BitLocker Drive Encryption enabled on the CSV cluster, you must run a consistency check for Hyper-V virtual machines.|
 |Back up VMs with SMB storage|-   Turn on auto-mount on the server that's running Hyper-V to enable virtual machine protection.<br />   -   Disable TCP Chimney Offload.<br />-   Ensure that all Hyper-V machine$ accounts have full permissions on the specific remote SMB file shares.<br />-   Ensure that the file path for all virtual machine components during recovery to alternate location is fewer than 260 characters. If not, recovery might succeed, but Hyper-V won't be able to mount the virtual machine.<br />-   The following scenarios aren't supported:<br />     Deployments where some components of the virtual machine are on local volumes and some components are on remote volumes; an IPv4 or IPv6 address for storage location file server, and recovery of a virtual machine to a computer that uses remote SMB shares.<br />-   You'll need to enable the File Server VSS Agent service on each SMB server - Add it in **Add roles and features** > **Select server roles** > **File and Storage Services** > **File Services** > **File Service** > **File Server VSS Agent Service**.|
