Configuring Item-level recovery for Hyper-V ( misunderstanding.)

hi ,

using dpm 2012  , configuring item-level recovery hyper-v

based on article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh757981.aspx

it say  "if use version of windows server before windows server 2008, must have hyper-v role enabled on dpm server perform item-level recoveries. during item-level recovery, dpm has mount vhds of protected virtual machines."

what meaning of windows server before windows 2008  , dpm or hyper-v host server

and how enable hyper-v role on "windows server before windows server 2008"

i don't understand  server mean ?

thanks

another article"http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh758184.aspx"

server prerequisites

install hyper-v role on dpm server. dpm protects hyper-v virtual machines without role, cannot perform item-level recovery (ilr) unless role installed.

hi ramy,

"it "if use version of windows server before windows server 2008, must have hyper-v role enabled on dpm server perform item-level recoveries. during item-level recovery, dpm has mount vhds of protected virtual machines.  "

based on understanding , server that version before 2008 vm protected dpm , need enable hyper-v role on dpm server .

"install hyper-v role on dpm server. dpm protects hyper-v virtual machines without role, cannot perform item-level recovery (ilr) unless role installed."

 in short , the hyper-v role needed when want perform item-level recovery .

best regards
