You can install the Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V data mover for virtual machine (VM) backup and restore operations and in-guest application protection restore operations. This installation also installs the Windows mount proxy for file restore operations.

Before you begin

Ensure that communication ports are open in the firewall. For the list of ports that need to be open, see Required communication ports.
Ensure that you downloaded and extracted the installation package as described in Download and extract the installation package.
If you are installing the data mover to protect in-guest applications, ensure that you follow the instructions in the following topics before you install the data mover:
- Installing and configuring software for application protection of Microsoft Exchange Server
- Installing and configuring software for application protection of Microsoft SQL Server

About this task

The data mover installation includes the data mover, which is used for VM backup and restore operations and in-guest application protection restore operations. This installation also includes the mount proxy for file restore operations. The recovery agent is also included in the installation.

Restriction: The Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V installer automatically disables the automount feature with the diskpart command on the Windows operating system. This action is required to show correct drive letter assignments and to hide the system reserved disk in the IBM Spectrum Protect™ file restore interface.
