Meilleures méthodes pour sauvegarder les VM exécutées sur Hyper-V

ayi

We're in le middle of P2V'ing le plus of le network, so le current backup method is likely le worst - le backup agent is encore installed on le guest OSs, et le backup device is dutifully pulling them onto tape, one file at a time.

I suspect il y a a clever way to script (PowerShell?) a suspend on le VMs, alors backup of le .vhd files, et unsuspend le VMs. This seems like it would provide big speed benefits, tandis que losing file-level restore (might be best for things like DCs et app servers).

What methods/policies have you hammered out?

Regular file-level backup of seulement data should encore be used - regardless of si le machine is virtual ou not. Backing up le disk file however is a great aid in increasing recovery speed for disasters si le entire guest fails.

Il y a plusieurs approaches to backing up le guests avec scripting. You could shut it down, copy le vhd et start it again. A clean system backup. But what you probably want bien que is creating a snapshot. Il y a aussi a mount tool to get to le shadow copies programatically so you could actually move them off le volume as well. Il y a certains debate on how stable le VSS-based snapshot system really is et people have lost data. C'est a bit (ok, much more) involved than le approach used by Vmware as far as I can tell et is a bit more annoying to deal with.

Je pense il y a a service pack ou patch to le Windows Server 2008 Backup tool that makes it capable of backing up the guests transparently by le way?
