Virtualised backups: experiences with backup server as a guest VM

$

Hi,

I'd be interested to read peoples experiences with running backup software as a guest VM.

We have 2 physical 2012r2 hosts, each running 5 VM's, with vhdx's stored local to each host. 

I'd really like to setup a backup server as a guest VM itself on one of the hosts, but don't know if this is possible or a supported approach.  

We don't plan to use tape - the backup target would be an external drive accessed via iSCSI / 10GBE.
