Here is something new in Windows Server 2012 that I have not seen much discussion of yet: Windows Server backup now has native support for Hyper-V:
What this means is that:
- You no longer need to do anything special to backup Hyper-V (i.e. you no longer need to do this)
- You can use Windows Server Backup to backup individual virtual machines (shown in the screenshot above)
Cheers,
Ben
