The Bacula File Daemon and the Hyper-V WinAPI Plugin need to be installed on the Hyper-V host server. The Hyper-V WinAPI Plugin Windows installer is the same as the Hyper-V WMI Plugin installer.
You can choose to install one or the other from the Plugin tree.
It will deploy required components within the Bacula File Daemon plugins directory.
To configure the Bacula File Daemon, refer to the general Bacula installation documentation.
On the server side, the Hyper-V PowerShell Module needs to be enabled. On Windows Server or Hyper-V server 2012, 2016 and 2019, use Server Manager to install it. It should be located under Remote Server Administration Tools -> Role Administration Tools -> Hyper-V Management Tools and check Hyper-V Module for Windows PowerShell.
Verify the correct installation of the FD and the Hyper-V Plugin by running status client from bconsole or from BWeb.
