 To get full use of Hyper-V, install the appropriate linux-tools and linux-cloud-tools packages to install tools and daemons, e.g. VSS Snapshot Daemon, for use with virtual machines. Please refer to the following link for the details of requirements for Ubuntu relating to Hyper-V daemons: [[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/supported-ubuntu-virtual-machines-on-hyper-v]]

+===== Granular Restore =====
+----
+<WRAP indent>
+==== Supported Backup Modules ====
+----
+Granular Restore is supported on Hyper-V backup sets created and backed up using CloudBacko Pro installed on a Windows platform with the Granular Restore feature enabled on the backup set.
+==== Backup Quota Storage ====
+----
+As compression is not enabled for Granular backup sets, to optimize restore performance, the storage quota required will be higher than non-Granular backup sets. Contact your backup service provider for details.
+==== Operating System ====
+----
+CloudBacko Pro must be installed on a 64 bit Windows machine as libraries for Granular only supports 64 bit Windows operating system. CloudBacko Pro must be installed on the following Windows Operating Systems:
+| Windows 2012 | Windows 2012 R2 | Windows 2016 |
+| Windows 8 | Windows 8.1 | Windows 10 |
+==== Temporary Directory ====
+----
+For Hyper-V 2008 and 2012 in both Non-Cluster and Cluster environment, the temporary directory __must be__ set to a local drive.
+For Hyper-V 2016 or above in a Non-Cluster environment, the temporary directory can be set to a local drive, network drive or a cluster storage.
+For Hyper-V 2016 or above in a Cluster environment, the temporary directory must be set to a network drive or cluster storage accessible to all cluster members.
+The temporary directory should have at least the same available size as the guest VM to be restored.
+==== Available Spare Drive Letter ====
+----
+One spare drive letter must be available on the Windows machine for the Granular Restore process, as the VHD virtual disk is mounted on Windows as a logical drive. CloudBacko Pro will automatically take the next available drive letter in alphabetical order for the mounted virtual disk.
+<WRAP info>
+. The Windows drive letters A, B, and C are not used by Granular Restore. \\
+. The Granular Restore assigned drive letter(s) will be released once you exit from CloudBacko Pro UI.
+</WRAP>
+==== Network ====
+----
+Recommended minimum network speed is at least 100Mbps download speed.
+The network bandwidth requirements will increase in proportion to the size of the guest VM and or the incremental delta chain length to ensure optimal performance. Working with limited network bandwidth may severely affect the Granular Restore performance.
+You can use an online network speed test website (e.g. www.speedtest.net) to get an idea of the actual bandwidth of the machine.
+==== Other Dependencies ====
+----
+The following dependencies are required for restore and therefore they are verified by CloudBacko Pro only when a Granular Restore is performed. Absence of these dependencies will not affect the backup job but would cause the Granular Restore to fail.
+  * Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x86) / (x64) \\ [[https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145]]
+  * Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows \\  [[https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows]]
+==== Permissions ====
+----
+The Windows login account used for installation and operation of the CloudBacko Pro client machine requires Administrator privileges.
+<WRAP info>
+**Recommendation** - It is recommended that a local destination is added to the backup set for faster Granular Restore.  Since Granular Restore of large guest VM from cloud storage over the internet can be slow depending on network bandwidth and CBS server load.
