KEY TIIPS TO ENSURE ROBUST HYPER-V BACKUP AND
RECOVERY
Always remember that Hyper-V checkpoints are not
thorough backups, although they capture images
of VMs, as
well as data at particular points, they

also capture older data. This will then
require that you revert to old data seemingly
invaluable to you, whenever you need to restore
a particular VM. Every Hyper-V virtual machine
should only be assigned one application or role.
Having
single roles or applications per guest makes it
very much easy to recover guests, as well as

services in a contrived way. Furthermore, it
makes it easier to allocate backup agents and
licenses, and granular restores of data can be
performed inside Hyper-V guests.
Storing virtual machine backups require a lot of
space and the more often you create checkpoints,
the more space you need for backup storage. Space
is essential for any backup and recovery whether
it is a full VN backup and recovery or granular
recovery of individual files. Ideally, there is
the Data Deduplication technology, integrated
into the Windows Server, and the deduplication
solution from the third-party backup solution.
