You can back up Hyper-V while running and while guest virtual machines are running without interrupting them.
To back up Hyper-V with running virtual machines, use BackupChain and create a backup task of Hyper-V Backup type. There you can select the VM from a list and specify the target folder. You can back up VMs while running to a local drive, network drive, and also directly to FTP sites.



BackupChain contains more features to fine-tune your Hyper-V VM backups, for example, granular backup. Granular backup for Hyper-V can open VHD files and other formats while the VM is running and back up individual files and folders from inside the virtual machine.
