I'm running Hyper V Server 2008 R2. &nbsp;I'm also running SBS 2008 as a VM on the Hyper V Server. &nbsp;Does anyone have suggestions as to the best way to backup my VMs? &nbsp;I see that I can access the Hyper V Server from SBS backup (VM) but not sure that's the best way to backup since I'm essentially backing up my SBS VM from within itself. &nbsp;Thanks

Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Virtual machines are created and managed through a web-based interface that relies on Internet Information Services (IIS) or through a Windows client application tool called VMRCplus. Features included Linux guest operating system support, Virtual Disk Precompactor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), x64 host operating system support, the ability to mount virtual hard drives on the host machine and additional operating systems support, including Windows Vista, and a volume shadow copy writer.
