Hyper-v backup solution - virtualization

Can I install Hyper-V in Linux? Suppose our Hyper-V Manager install in windows server . Do I able to backup on Linux? What will be the best solution to backup Hyper-V Manager?

I am afraid, you have not described the problem clearly or defined your problem. Hyper-V Manager is Microsoft's virtualization management platform and does not support installation on Linux systems, but it can back up with Linux virtual machines(e.g. CentOS RHEL etc.).
reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/about/supported-guest-os

You can not install Hyper-v on Linux.
To reduce costs you can use Hyper-v server without passing to Windows server and enable the hyper-v feature.
Veeam backup is the most powerful solution to make backups for Hyper-v or vCenter.

FailoverClusters module is not getting listed while running the cmdlet Get-Module -ListAvailable

I tried below command
Get-Module -ListAvailable
But it did not showed me "FailoverClusters" in the list
From where I can download this module? Do I have to install any SDK?
Note: I do not want to install Azure SDK. Is there any other way?
Update
I am using my local windows 10 to remote connect to the Azure Virtual Machine (Windows Server 2012 R2). I do want to manage all configurations using powershell from my local windows 10 machine.
As jisaak already explained, the FailoverClusters module is installed when you install the Failover Clustering feature on a Windows Server.
If, however, you want to manage a cluster from a computer without the Failover Clustering feature installed, this is what you do:
Download the appropriate version of Remote Server Administration Tools
Run the installer
Navigate to the Programs and Features control panel pane (run appwiz.cpl)
Choose "Turn Windows Features on or off"
Find the "Failover Cluster Management" feature under Remote Server Administration Tools
Enable it
Voila
The FailoverClusters Windows PowerShell module is installed on the
computer with the Failover Clustering feature
Source
Install the Failover Clustering Feature

How to access MATLAB installed on a server?

A pretty basic question. The MATLAB is installed on a linux based server. I have windows 7 installed on my system. I want to access MATLAB, how do i do that?
Shall i install some virtual machine or is there a simpler way? Please help.
Thanks.
MATLAB will run on Windows 7, so you could just install it on your Win7 machine. The other more complicated route would be to run a VNC client on the Win7 box and a matching server on the Linux side. Then you can have access to the remote linux desktop from Win7.

how to install operating system on a virtual machine programatically

It may be a duplicate question but i could not find it anywhere.
Anyway, my goal to install operating system(both linux and windows) programatically on a virtual machine running on vmware hosts.
Although my search, I am quite lost about where to start.
Is there a framework or project you can suggest?
You could use templates; i.e. create a VM, install the Linux distribution of your choice and make the VM a template. Then don't create VMs but deploy the template.
Alternatively, google for the Linux distribution of your choice and something like "network installation". You'll need a DHCP server and probably a TFTP and/or web server.

Creating VMware Virtual Machine Templates
Try having a look at Vagrant: http://www.vagrantup.com/. It allows you to install/uninstall a predefined VM from the command line.

Does Revirtualization works with Hyper-V and not Xen

I was installing vagrant with virtualbox provision. When I am running it on Amazon EC2, then it doesn't work saying:
* Running VirtualBox in a Xen environment is not supported
EC2 uses xen virtualization. On the other hand, its working fine on Windows Azure Virtual Machines which uses a customized version of Hyper-V.
So,cant we use virtualbox in Xen but in Hyper-V?
Are you sure that HyperV allow you to start the VM, I don't think this is possible using current hardware VT technology without slow painful emulation instead of virtualization.

UNIX web development server for virtual machine PC in Windows

I'm planning to build Linux web development server in virtual machine environment on Windows Virtual PC. As I don't have much experience with installing and configuring Linux web servers, I wanted to ask for some advice:
What Linux distribution do you recommend for such server? I want the virtual server to look like real hosting environment.
Do any pre-configured virtual machines for web development exist out there?
Maybe some instruction and tips on configuring?
My requirements for the server are quite standard: latest versions of Apache, MySQL, PHP, probably Python and Postgre.
Thank you.
UPDATE: OK I think I'll go with Ubuntu Server for this.
You can probably go with Ubuntu. It is easy for a beginner and there is plently of documentation on how to install a LAMP stack and later you can move on to other distros.
If you are looking for pre-configured machines, then you can have a look at VMWare Appliances
For the distribution I would recommend Ubuntu - you can add all the server software you want from their repositories.
For a virtual machine I'd recommend Ubuntu Server Edition JeOS, as that won't have any un-needed software on it.
Debian Lenny - rock solid stability & the most package support
I'm sure you can find some
Use prefork-worker apache, MySQL 5/PHP 5, Postgres 8.4.
There are lots of prebuilt vmware images that you can use. You might also consider looking at something like Amazon EC2 for which there are lots of off the shelf images.
I would also suggest Ubuntu server as a base OS.
Incidentally there are other virtualisation options in case Virtual PC doesn't recognise those prebuilt image formats (I think those formats are more standardised and interoperable these days, but not sure)...e.g. there is vmware, and there is virtualbox.org
Does it need to be in Linux straight away? You can run (Apache et al) XAMPP locally and get it up and running in 5 minutes.
