To have the ability to recover individual files and folders in a guest virtual machine hosted on Hyper-V RTM / R2, the protection group must specify Disk as the backup media (short term).
The DPM agent only needs to be installed on the physical Hyper-V host. It is not a prerequisite to setup the DPM Agent in each and every VM. Doing so, however, enables the administrator to define separate and complementary backup schedules with added flexibility in recovery, both at the VM (as seen from Hyper-V) and application (child partition’s viewpoint) levels.
Additionally, the Hyper-V server role must be installed on the DPM 2010 Server. This requires Windows Server 2008 RTM / R2, which in any case is the only supported x64 operating system for DPM 2010. It is not sufficient to just install the Hyper-V Manager.
