Hi,<br />
I have three Hyper-V servers that were being used for a project.<br />
The project has been cancelled so apparently the servers are no longer needed.<br />
Before I delete the servers, I want to &quot;archive&quot; them just in case I'm asked to restore them and use them again.<br />
What is the best way to archive, store or export a Hyper-V VM to be used at a later date.

Hi,
I have three Hyper-V servers that were being used for a project.
The project has been cancelled so apparently the servers are no longer needed.
Before I delete the servers, I want to "archive" them just in case I'm asked to restore them and use them again.
What is the best way to archive, store or export a Hyper-V VM to be used at a later date.

Archive Hyper-V servers

Hyper-V is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems and supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Hyper-V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection. Administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network.
