I have DPM 2012 R2 RU 8 installed and Fedora 23 Server running as a VM on a 2012 R2 HyperV host. When I added the Fedora VM to a PG (protection group) its showing the VM as an online backup. When a backup is attempted, I can see HyperV list
'backing up' next to the VM in HyperV manager for a split second and then fails with the below error in the event log on the HyperV host. The backup in DPM then just moves on to an inconsistent replica state. Shouldn't this backup be listed as
an offline backup? How can I change from online to offline? Some integration services must be available within Fedora 23 as the mouse/keyboard work, but I haven't been able to find any specifics on what is supported.
I can create a checkpoint successfully. Other VMs backup fine on the host that are online (windows) and offline types (linux firewalls). This Fedora VM has never been backed up successfully.
