Vista - Backup SBS HyperV

I would like to know if it is allowed to do the following according to the MS
License.

I have a SBS 2008 Premium, I install the 2nd server as a Windows 2008 Core
and enable HyperV on it as a parent partition. Then I install a SBS child
partition and the 2nd server as a child partition on it also. This should all
be allowed by MS as far as I have read, as long as the parent partition is
only used for virtualisation.

Now to my question, if you install Backup Exec on the parent partition to
allow backup of both child partitions will that be against the licens or is
it allowed to do that since its only a backup service that runs in the
background and not an application that the users will access?

If it is not allowed or possible, any ideas as to how you can use HyperV on
a single physical server and do backup would be welcome?

Hope you can understand my question.

So far as I'm aware, that is within the scope of the license. The parent
partition is allowed to run the Hyper-V Role, and supporting
features/applications for managing the parent partition, the VMs and
virtualization, and essential security for the same. I take this to include
backup.
