Hyper-V virtual reverted to over a year old version
I have a Windows Server 2008 Standard server running Hyper-V.
All was good until we had a power outage the other day and my UPS batteries were not holding a charge for long (shame on me for not checking). The servers powered off instead of being shut down. I powered them all back on and things looked OK, until I realized 1 of my virtual servers reverted back to over a year ago.
The program I had installed is still there and my credentials log me in, so I thought the program was running fine. Now, I realize the data on that server is over a year old.
I've setup a number of Hyper-Vs and things have been working great, but I haven't had to do any real troubleshooting on an issue like this.
Any help in determining how this might have happened and, especially, recovering my virtual is greatly appreciated. I would restore it to a current state, but this virtual is running my backup software, so I have nothing to restore.

It turns out it was an issue with the software that made it appear as though it had reverted back to an older version of the VHD. Sorry, as I jumped the gun on that diagnosis.
