Managing data with the Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V Management Console

The Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V Management Console provides a single environment to help you manage the daily operations of Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V.

You can use the Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V Management Console to start ad hoc backup and restore operations and to view the most recent backup information for all virtual machines (VMs) that are in a Hyper-V host or cluster.

This information includes the identification of VMs that are at risk of being unprotected because the VM has never been backed up or because a backup did not occur in the time interval that is set in the at-risk policy. The at-risk policy only applies to VMs that have been previously backed up.
