Free Hyper-V Backup Software
HyperVBackup is a handy and reliable utility designed to provide the means to backup and restore Hyper-V virtual machines (formerly known as Windows Server Virtualization), in standalone and clustered (CSV) environments, overcoming all the limitations that a generic tool like Diskshadow provides. This Hyper-V Backup software supports app consistent and crash consistent backups through the Hyper V VSS writer component integrated in the operating system.

There are quite a few expensive commercial Hyper-V Backup solutions on the market supporting this scenario, but this is the first free open source one, based on Hyper-V virtual machines backup and restore research. HyperVBackup can be invoked from the command line, scripted with Powershell or integrated in any .Net pro gram through it's class library. The backup process generates a separate zip file for each virtual machine in the specified output directory, containing all the files owned by the VM and identified for backup by the VSS Hyper-V provider.
