What Are You Doing Right Now
-
I'm working out of Hyper-V a lot these days, and it works just as good as anything else out there... I am planning to switch my home server over to XenServer if I can ever get the time to do it, lol.
-
Is there any difference between Hyper-V on Windows 8.1 Enterprise and Hyper-V installed on Server 2012?
-
@coliver Since I've never used Hyper-V or VMware, does Veeam do recursive backups of each vm?

No Hyper-V is Hyper-V. There is no difference between it on Windows 8.1, Server 2012, or Hyper-V Server. Hyper-V and XenServer use the same Dom0 method so you are basically installing a shim underneath the operating system and make the primary OS a virtual machine (Dom0).

Unless you install Hyper-V direct. No primary machine is required.

I've never used Veeam. What do you mean by recusive backups? It will do incremental forever backups from what I understand.
-
@coliver Sorry I meant incremental not recursive.

Right but even installing Hyper-V directly installs a cut down "Windows Server" as the Dom0.

It's always the same, no matter what. The idea that HyperV has different ways of operating is all myth, and all from the SW community from what I can tell.

Only the version. The one shipped with 8.1 is one version newer than the one shipped with 2012. 2012 and 8 are in sync, 2012 R2 and 8.1 are in sync.

A windows 8 machine cannot connect to a Windows 8.1 or Windows 2012R2 Hyper-V instance.

I've had atrocious luck with Android. For a phone device, I won't touch it.
