With HyperAgent agentless backup, you can now back up virtual machines configured on VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V hosts without needing to install an agent on the virtual machine itself. Additionally, the agentless backup feature does not require a dedicated appliance server; you only need to install the HyperAgent service on the host or a Windows machine that has access to the host.<br>Other virtual host environments can be backed up using agent-based backups. Please use ActiveImage Protector vPack to back up virtual machines on these hosts.
