Hyper-V backup

Important

Remember to read the Best Practices chapter common for all of our hypervisor plugins.

Bacula Enterprise offers two ways to backup your Hyper-V virtual machines:

• Hyper-V VSS

VSS services enable Bacula Enterprise to do snapshot backup of your Hyper-V virtual machines.

Single Item Restore is supported, but differential and incremental level backup cannot be done using this method.

---

• Hyper-V WMI

The WMI provider allows you to perform differential and incremental backup for Microsoft Hyper-V. Single Item Restore is not possible using this method.
