Hyper-V VM backups directly to Dell Data Domain using Storage Accelerator

Hi everyone,


We are exploring the possibility of backing up Hyper-V VMs directly to Dell Data Domain using DD Boost, without routing the backup data through a MediaAgent.

The official documentation states that "Storage Accelerator is supported. You need to install Storage Accelerator and Storage Accelerator Add-on package on the clients." https://documentation.commvault.com/11.46/software/accelerating_backups_to_data_domain_boost_client_library.html
 

However, it is unclear whether this functionality is supported for Hyper-V backups at the hypervisor level.

Can anyone confirm whether Storage Accelerator supports client-direct backups of Hyper-V VMs to Dell Data Domain using DD Boost in Commvault 11.44? Are there any specific prerequisites or limitations?


Thanks in advance for your help!
