Hyper-V backup with windows server backup
ok, I'm new to hyper-v, I have installed the role on a 2008 r2 server and looking at backups,
as far as i understand i need to do a 'full volume backup' on the drives that hold the machine files.
i can use HKLM\Software\Microsoft\wi
But I believe I need to backup the volume for these folders and C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\W
Am i correct, i have the vm running from the E: drive and the initialstore.xml on E: as well, can i get away with just backing up E: now? or do i need to still do the whole C: drive too as i cant move the folders?
Starting to dislike Hyper-V :-(
Thanks for your help
