Microsoft Hyper-V VM Backup

XZBACKUP’s Microsoft Hyper‑V Virtual Machine integration offers a comprehensive, VSS‑aware backup solution for all versions of Hyper‑V on Windows Server (including 2022). By installing the XZBACKUP agent on the Hyper‑V host, you can select individual VMs—or all guests—for snapshot-based backups. Each job captures the VM’s config files, VHD/VHDX disks, memory state (if running), and full checkpoint trees. With deduplication and Changed Block Tracking, backups are efficient in storage and bandwidth, and quiesced VSS or production checkpoints ensure application consistency inside guest OSes.

Restores are just as flexible: redeploy VMs to local, cloud, or alternate Hyper‑V hosts, restore running memory state, and import Generation 1 or 2 VMs. Granular recovery lets you extract individual VM files, and backups from replica hosts are supported (crash-consistent by default). Centralized management via GUI or CLI allows scheduling, retention policies (9 presets), email reporting, and custom pre/post-job scripts. Military-grade AES‑256 encryption (in transit and at rest) ensures compliance with HIPAA/GDPR standards .
