Caught, red handed!<\/p>\n
Windows Server Backup (WSB) in Windows Server 2012, out of the box with no registry edits, can backup:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Running virtual machines on a standalone host \u2013 a slight improvement over the past where a registry edit was required to register the VSS Hyper-V Writer<\/li>\n
- Running virtual machines on a cluster shared volume (CSV) \u2013 this is absolutely new<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Note that WSB does not support VMs that are stored on SMB 3.0 file shares. You\u2019ll need something else for that.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve done a lot of testing over the last week, trying out different scenarios in the cluster, and restoring \u201clost\u201d VMs. Everything worked. You can backup to a volume, a drive, or a file share. This is a very nice solution for a small company that wants a budget virtualisation solution. <\/p>\n
As for my step-by-steps \u2026 I\u2019m working on it but you\u2019ll have to wait for that \u2026 and that is<\/em> another tease
