What does Safe Backup Plus backup in a Hyper-V backup and how does it back it up? - Safe Backup Plus

This Protected Item type backs up Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines. The underlying technology is VSS and is compatible with all versions of Hyper-V running on Windows Server, including Windows Server 2019 (the latest version at the time of writing).

This backup type is only applicable when running on Windows Server. Hyper-V on Windows Desktop is not supported by this Protected item type.

Safe Backup Plus integrates with the Hyper-V VSS writer to perform a Hyper-V backup snapshot, including support for in-VM quiescence on supported guest operating systems.

Backing up a Hyper-V virtual machine with Safe backup Plus includes, but is not limited to:
  1. its configuration file
  2. all attached virtual drives
  3. the contents of memory (if the machine was running)
  4. the full tree of saved checkpoints
You can select individual virtual machines for backup, or choose "All virtual machines".
