With this in mind, the content of this chapter will provide you with the basics regarding a private cloud protection, in terms of what to consider and how to setup DPM as the primary protection for the virtualization that the Microsoft Hyper-V platform provides. Specifically, we will cover how to set up an optimal Hyper-V protection for virtual machine protection. We will also cover the different restore scenarios and also some important configurations regarding protecting large scale implementations.
