Hyper-V Plug-In

Using the Hyper-V Plug-in

The Hyper-V plug-in supports direct backup and restore of Hyper-V virtual machines which reside on the same system as your backup client. The virtual machines can be either running or stopped when doing a backup.

Backup using the Hyper-V Plug-In

If you have an active Hyper-V plug-in, you may select your Hyper-V virtual machines for backup using the file selection tree or list view under the Backup Tab.  

If you check the box next to the Hyper-V name, all virtual machines will be selected for backup. To select only a specific virtual machine, expand the Hyper-V object by clicking on the + symbol and check only the virtual machines you want to backup.

Restore using the Hyper-V Plug-in

If you have an active Hyper-V plug-in, you may restore a previous Hyper-V backup by selecting the Hyper-V name using the file selection tree or list view under the Restore Tab.

If you check the box next to the Hyper-V name, all virtual machines will be selected for restore. To select only a specific virtual machine, expand the Hyper-V object by clicking on the + symbol and check only the virtual machines you want to restore. Restoring a Hyper-V virtual machine will overwrite the current version of the Hyper-V virtual machine that is there.
