- Have a Hyper-V Host (Server Core) that I want to backup to a locally attached USB Disk.
- Have a 2012 R2 management server where I have installed the Windows Backup feature as well.
Although it's not possible to connect to the remote Hyper-V host from the Windows Backup GUI directly (very strange and I can not understand this), it's possible to launch "Computer Management", connect to the remote Hyper-V host, and then launch the Windows Backup GUI from inside the computer management.
Can successfully configure and monitor the Windows Server Backup jobs this way. However, when I try to recover anything from the Hyper-V Host to an alternate location, absolutely no recovery destination is accepted. Have tried a path on the management server, as well as on the Hyper-V host, but always getting the following error:
How can I recover anything from the Hyper-V host from the Windows Backup GUI? Recover data directly on the Hyper-V host with wbadmin.exe or any scripts is much too complicated for our service desk employees.
Thank you in advance for any help.
