Explanation

You can back up virtual machines at the host or guest level. At the host level the DPM protection agent is installed on the Hyper-V host server or cluster. At the guest level the agent is installed on each virtual machine. If you deploy host level back you'll be able to recover an entire virtual machine, or perform item-level recovery to want to be able to back up and restore specific files, folder, volumes or hard disks. Guest-level back is useful if you want to protect specific workloads running on a virtual machine. For example if you specifically want to back up a SQL Server database running on the virtual machine. Note that you must use guest-level backup if you want to protect data stored on passthrough disks. Passthrough allow the virtual machine to directly access the storage device and don't store virtual volume data in a VHD file.
